[QUOTE="Wild_Bill, post: 123360, member: 4785"] Hi Ben neck it to 6.5 then you will have the advantage of all the 6.5 projectiles out there in 6mm and an 8 twist it will also be awsome if you are only shooting roos go with the faster twist 6mm but if you want to get bigger game like piugs step it up a bit. Either should be fine but remember the case capacity is about equil to a 243 or 260 case so if you load them to the same pressure the velocities are similar the advantage with the WSSM's is because they are loaded much hotter and as you know barrel life is the thing that you loose with higher pressure. Their is no free lunch. That being said you will likely not over heat the barrel to much if you limit the use of the rifle for longer shots and have another for the shorter shots in sompthing more suitable for barrel life like a 6mmBR. I use a 6mm BR back to 300 yards no problem the same use as you. Cheers Bill Australia [/QUOTE]
