[QUOTE="Heavyiron, post: 2662111, member: 95875"] Remington mishandled this cartridge out the gate. They advertised it as having more energy beyond 200 yards with the 140 grain bullets. Than a 270 with the 130 grain bullet. Guns were shipped with 1.95 twist and the only ammo you could buy was the 140 grain bullet. No stabilization. I bought a new remington model seven stainless in 1997, still have it today. My rifle has never had a factory round fired thru it. It is an excellent cartridge with the 120 grain ballistic tip and 41.5 grains of 4064. It pushes this bullet around 2990 out of a 20 inch barrel. If remington had promoted this cartridge right. We would never have seen the 6.5 creedmore. I have taken over 40 whitetails with it. It always done what i expected. With the pencil thin barrel it will group the first 2 bullets at 5/8 of an inch with the third opening the group as the barrel heats up to 1 inch. It will be with me until my estate sells it after i am gone. I cannot give any more praise than that. Free floating the barrel helped a lot. Groups originally were 2 inches at a hundred. [/QUOTE]
