[QUOTE="Wachsmann, post: 1116293, member: 10429"] The 6.5 is aswome with mild recoil and great ballistics out of 140 and 130 grain bergers. Also the 2950 does seem to be a sweet spot for as case life and I think my gun is also shooting really good around the same velocity. If you get a savage long range hunter there are plenty of guys that has developed loads for them. There is a large thread on here about just that thing. I actually have the 116 SS in a flutted 24 inch barrel rifle savage. It just a tad bit slower than the LRH. I used to think it was the slowest 6.5x284 ever built but then I used some retumbo and got those 140 bergers moving. Most of the guns have been a solid 1/2 MOA rifles that everyone has developed loads for. My best group was about .75 to .6 at 200 yards. But this is when I was running them (140's) a little slower. I'm having to prefect my load again since I lost my loading notebook. But its all good fun. Honestly I shoot my 6.5 more than any other rifle I own. I just like to shoot it. It also fun busting rocks at 500 and 600 yards. Not really long but it's a start. [/QUOTE]
