[QUOTE="Long Time Long Ranger, post: 527761, member: 505"] The 6.5 RUM is to much I agree. This cartridge will be interesting because it is so much shorter and fatter than the STW so a completly different burn. Looking at the case design I don't think it will be any harder or maybe not as hard on barrels as the stw. Just guessing though until I shoot one quite a bit. I love to shoot my STW and it has amazing ballistics. The problem is the long 140 bergers are single shots in it. With the short SIN they will easily feed through the magazine with +stw performance. I am willing to be a guinnea pig and try one to find out. Flat shooting high velocity just makes shooting at stuff so much fun. With velocity comes tremendous boom flop effect with a shot through the chest. With a mil dot or good trajectory scope flat shooting rifles are very nice not having to fool with clicks. More velocity is better than less velocity any time for me. Back in the 90's when I did so many 338-300 RUM's people were amazed at the sheer power when hitting game with 300 fps more velocity than the 338 winchester on there standard magnum action. Then they would shoot something with my 338-378 wby and just say wow! I want one of those. Bumping the velocity another 200-300 fps made that much difference again. Velocity makes quite a difference in hunting with the effect on game, wind drift and number of yards you stay in the kill zone at long range. It is not just about clicks. [/QUOTE]
