[QUOTE="bowhunter42, post: 771294, member: 32635"] I just finished my 6.5 wsm build and am in the process of load development. so far it is really fond of 65.5 h 1000 and a 250 primer, its pushing the 140 berger at 3297 fps out of a 26" pipe. ragged 1 hole 5shot group @100 , gave me a 3shot 1/2 group @ 200, and at 400 it put 5 shots into a 1 1/2" group with 15 mph winds. the Es is 10fps consistantly. very slight cratering of the primer, but I think the head space is just a little long.I have a set of go/no go gauges being delivered today so I will be checking that when I get home. I did shoot it at 825 and 1016 and I have to say that it is the flatest shooting thing I have EVER shot. It only took 17 moa to get to 1016 and 11 moa to 825! they say barrel life is a little short, so I sent mine out and had it melonited, it has 70 rounds thru it and we ran a bore scope down it just to see, It looks like its never had a round thru it, I know 70 isn't that many but we will be keeping a close eye on it to see how well the meloniting works.
