I am not sure what can be done with a 6.5mm bullet that hasn't already been done or that would cost so much money to produce that it would bankrupt the nation. The bullet has been around for over a hundred years and has been thoroughly developed in terms of military, hunting, and competitive shooting. Unless you develop a powder that produces greater than 50% higher velocity with a 50% reduction in pressure, you won't get the speeds out of a 30 grain capacity 6.5mm cartridge that will allow it to compete with a 5.56 or 7.62 that doesn't need any more development.
