Hey team.
Yet another 6.5 thread, however specifically I need a gully jumping deer round that bucks some wind out to about 700-800meters max.
The gun :
How's long action in a beautiful Mark V weatherby timber stock. 26" bbl
Swan barrel![Smiling face with hearts :smiling_face_with_3_hearts: 🥰](https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f970.png)
To be clear,
So I can't say why but I have to run a 6.5. Can't go 7 etc etc, so right from the start, it's a 6.5!
Most shots are within 10 feet or 500 meters, very open hilly country but with many creeks and rivers between.
So my options are
6.5-280AI (cheap 270 brass everywhere, must be fireformed). more rounds in the mag. 140s up to 3200???
6.5 WSM no fireforming, ? Stratospheric speeds. Barrels toast in 500/600 shots. A ***** to tune?
6.5 PRC. Just a magnum version of the creed... and we all know about "those" creed shooters. Brass is super expensive though.![Face with rolling eyes :rolling_eyes: 🙄](https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f644.png)
Looking to hear thoughts on the matter.
