[QUOTE="Darryl Cassel, post: 22170, member: 34"] Hello Just got back to PA from Ohio and been on the road today. The 6.5/300 Weatherby is a fine caliber and was the old standby (still is for many) longrange rifle in Pennsylvania. It also held a World record or two at the Wiliiamsport 1000 yard club. It would be the maximum size case I would chamber the 6.5--140 to 155 gr bullet for. It MUST have the 8 twist and a 30" barrel to really appreciate what it will do. A friend of mine in Alaska had one chambered and the other day he shot a 114 LB wolf with it amd from what I understand, almost tore that wolf in half. He said he will have alot of sewing to do on the hide. Anyway, the 6.5/300 Weatherby is a very good cartridge. Later Darryl Cassel [ 03-15-2002: Message edited by: Darryl Cassel ] [/QUOTE]
