[QUOTE="tim_w, post: 1460049, member: 11132"] The 6.5 is a great choice and you are right tons of hunting and LR bullet choices all with good range of SD. A bit more recoil but nothing even a small framed child could to handle let alone an adult. You can take that to almost nothing with a good brake if it were a need. You will also get a good jump in barrel duty cycle. Thats one of the reasons I like to find cartridge designs and caliber that allows me to get the performance I want but using the cooler burning powders H1000 N165 N160 etc. I can always hot rod it up if I want by switching to a HE/DB powders but with this combo I tend to get better barrel life than a combo of smaller case capacity that can reach the same vel but with those hotter powder such as Rl17,26,33 N500 series Varget etc. Doing that I can usually get 50%-100% increase in duty cycle/barrel.
