[QUOTE="IdahoCTD, post: 877555, member: 13110"] Well I don't have a 6.5STW but I do have a couple 6.5-300wm's and have shot a few animals with the first one I built. It took two elk at 100-125yds with 140gr Amax's doing 3225fps (RWS brass gives up about 100fps) and a deer at 1006yds with the same load. The first one has a 28" Sendero contour and the second one has a 26" Sendero contour (it's a cheap CM barrel I paid 50.00 for. The first groups with 123 Amax's was 1/3 MOA @ 100yds and 1/2MOA @ 300yds). In Nosler brass I get 3325ish for velocity with 140's using Retumbo. R-33 adds roughly another 80fps. I chose the 6.5-300wm because brass is usually easier to find, it has plenty of HP, and it will fit in a standard 3.68" Remington mag box with the edge of the boattail at the bottom of the neck. I have a 6.5STW reamer I bought before I did my first 6.5-300wm too. [/QUOTE]
