[QUOTE="elkaholic, post: 671461, member: 13833"] Here are a couple of pics of the 6.5 Sherman. The rifle is a 700 rem. with a H-S stock, #4 Lilja SS, fluted, 26", 3 groove, 8 twist. The scope is a 6.5-20 Zeiss. It also has a jewell trigger. The barrel has approx. 1500 rounds thru it and still shoots 1/2 moa. It has lost a little accuracy as it use to shoot .3 moa. The loaded round is the 6.5 Sherman with a 140 A-Max compared to the .270W parent. The Sherman is an 11% increase in case capacity. I believe the barrel life is good because the Sherman version has a .300" neck and 40 degree shoulder which keeps the flame point directed inside the neck rather than directly into the throat like the short necked .284 version.......Rich [ATTACH]10841.vB[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]10840.vB[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
