[QUOTE="MagnumManiac, post: 1124739, member: 10755"] Depends what you are doing, but I have 6.5's for up to 600yrds in F-Class, have tried the 6.5x55, very good, but my 264WM is better, I also have a barrel rough chambered in 6.5-284 I haven't tried yet, maybe next year. For 1000yrd F-Class, I use 300WM with 210gr Bergers or 200gr Accubonds when Bergers are hard to source here. Still trying to source some 215gr Hybrids to try. My long range (1000+yrds) rifle is a custom 700 in 338 Edge, we cannot use anything above 8mm in F-Class here in Australia. For competition use, you can't go past the 300WM for 1000yrds, many where I shoot are using the WSM, but, it isn't winning more matches than us using the WM, accuracy is about the same, although the WM does have an edge on wind drift with the better velocity with 200gr and heavier bullets. Hope this helps you decide. Cheers. gun) [/QUOTE]
