[QUOTE="IdahoCTD, post: 955253, member: 13110"] I have 3 6.5-300wm's. I shoot 140's at 3230fps in RWS brass or 3300fps in Winchester brass in one of them and 123gr Amax's at 3385fps in RWS brass in one of the others. The third one is a lightweight one that I just finished bedding and have barely shot. I shot a deer at 1006yds with the first one I built two years ago and 2 elk with it last year at under 150yds. I've also shot quite a few rock chucks with the second one out to 400yds or so and steel a good deal further. The first two will shoot 3 shot groups under 3/8" at 100yds and around 1" at 300yds. The 26 Nosler is another option if you want a hotrod as are the 6.5 STW, 6.5SAUM, 6.5WSM, and .264wm. If I wanted good barrel life I'd do a 6.5x47 Lapua and shoot 123-130's 2900+fps. [/QUOTE]
