[QUOTE="Buffalobob, post: 70658, member: 8"] Norma brass is expensive, it does not matter whether it is 240 Wby for $21.00 or 308 for 17.00 for 20 or 300 Win at $26.00 per 20. And if you think that is bad check the prices on Lapua brass for a 338 Lapua. The 240 Wby (as I imagine are most of the 6mms) is fun to shoot at the bench. I have a standard 1-10 twist Shilen barrel and I have just started experimenting with bullets at weights other than 85 grains. It is going to be interesting to see what the gun thinks about heavier bullets and whether it can be stretched out to 1000yds. I am not advocating the 240 Wby cartridge as a great target cartridge. This is a hunting rifle for whitetail deer and energy is pretty well gone at 600yds for deer shooting purposes. My two cents - barrel twist is critical when playing at 1000yd.
