[QUOTE="Skimbleshanks, post: 363377, member: 22552"] Seeing as nobody has touched the 6.5 rem mag issue I suppose I'll touch on that for a minute. The 350 rem mag is a ballistic twin of the 35 Whelen but can work well in a slightly shorter barrel. I imagine (having never shot one but compared them in manuals) that the 6.5-06 and 6.5 rem mag are fairly close as well. Quality of brass and some peoples aversion to belted cases has probably hampered the popularity of the 6.5 rem mag. That and the model 600 was the wrong platform for such a cartridge to be utilized to its full potential. For a hunting rifle I don't think you could go wrong with the 6.5 rem mag, 6.5-06, or 6.5-284. Any animal hit well with a quality bullet wont care what case propelled the projectile. Good luck and have fun. [/QUOTE]
