[QUOTE="elkaholic, post: 1015522, member: 13833"] The 6.5 Sherman will get you 150' on the 6.5-06 with the same bolt face and IMO, with little, if any, loss of barrel life because of the case design. If you run the ballistics, it is a very capable rifle at 1000 yards for big game with a 150 grain high b.c. bullet leaving the muzzle at 3150' or the 160 grainer at 3050'. Cases are easy to form and dies are in stock. If you want more punch and excellent barrel life, the 300 Sherman is right on the heels of the 300 WM with 13 grains less powder. My hunting load was a .311 b.c. bullet (G7) of 190 grains at 3050'( 28" barrel).................Rich [/QUOTE]
