[QUOTE="Wild_Bill, post: 122100, member: 4785"] I would also look at the short mags in 6.5 i prefer the Rem case over the Win case but both will work well. I would look at the 6.5 STW a 8mm Rem MAg necked to 6.5 the bigest case to build a 6.5 on it is extreemly over bore and should get the 155gr projectiles to 3300 without to much trouble. I have heard of a shooter using a 6.5WSM on a 30" barrel and he is supposidly getting 3200fps with the discontinued 155gr Sierra MAtchKing. The 155gr Sierra is awsome if you can get hold of them they will hold more energy but the BC is slightly lower than the 142 Sierra. Another good option would be the 6.5 300 Win Mag i would seriously look at it as it would not be far behind the STW or ultra mag. Their is deminishing returns with massive cases to bore diameters i would stick to a WIn MAg or smaller case and you will be plesantly supprised. Cheers Bill Australia [/QUOTE]
