[QUOTE="wildcat, post: 195718, member: 4557"] AKKILL, The barrel life wont be that great, but either is the regular 6.5x284. I am sure to get 3500fps from the 6.5x300, you will be running higher pressures. To answer your question about the barrel, tell the barrel maker you want a 1-8.5 twist 6.5 cal barrel. Than you will have to find a reamer and have a gunsmith chamber it for 6.5x300 WSM. It will require you to do prep on the brass, necking down, ect. But once you get it ready, you will have one flat shooting rig. The 139grn Lapua has a BC of .615 and at 3500fps, you will have no problem shooting out to 1500 yards. Remember, I got the 3500fps information from the owner, so I am not real sure if he is being honest. I think he is, and I think the 6.5x300WSM can push that bullet at that speed. Kirby would probable be able to give us some better info about this cartridge. I think he has a 6.5 Allen Mag, and I think I remeber him saying he was pushing the 140grn bullets at those speeds? w.
