[QUOTE="royinidaho, post: 216153, member: 2011"] "Am I dreaming" yup you had better be. That's one of the things that separates us from say a cow..... It sounds as though you are concerned about a possible lack of velocity. Velocity is on the tail end f things to be concerned with. Your choice of cartridge components is top notch. When you get the accuracy you need, considering the size of varmint you're after the next thing is a drop chart. A good scope choice will be a major consideration. Maybe even a bit more important than the rifle. I'm not familiar with a 6.5x55, if that's what you have, that's what you use. Not a problem! 308s are shot at 1k all the time. So a 6.5x55 at 600 should be doable. After all of the preparation, if you hit your first one at greater than 375 yards I'll be really ticked.;) Dream on and have fun........ [/QUOTE]
