My 325 wsm with 200gr partions is my go to gun for South Texas deer. I don't want to look for deer in the thick brush and this set up did the trick. It's a model 70 extreme weather, weighing just over 8 lbs scoped.
I have a #3 bartlein barrel on a kelby action for my 30 Nosler. I throated it for the 245s at 3.75 but for break in, I just threw some retumbo and 215s together and got sweet load without really trying. I haven't even played with the 245s since it shoots the 215s so good but now that the weather...
My opinion would be a 6.5 SAUM with a 20" barrel and 1:8 twist and with Unknown Munitions short action mag COAL of 3.00" pushing the 156s at 3k would be a great mule deer round. I use a 26" barrel and achieved 3200 with RL26.

I need a few for a mock up round to send to the smith. If anybody can part with some that would be great.
I can also offer up some 215s, 200.20x, 225eldm for trade. Also 180 eldm, 180 berger hybrids if your look for .284.
Shout out to J/A, ordered my Kelby action Sunday night, sent the FFL paperwork Monday afternoon and picked up my action today. Fast shipping and a very smooth transaction.
