[QUOTE="Michael Eichele, post: 434561, member: 1007"] I can tell you for certain that a 6.5mm 140 going 3300-3400 FPS is going to EAT barrels alive. The 264 RM might give you 3100 with a 26" barrel. With the cramped bore space you are going to need a large case and a long barrel. For those speeds at that bullet weight you are in 7mm RUM territory. If it is flat shooting you seek, get a LRF and forget about how flat it is. If it is beating the wind you seek, you can do that with another caliber that will shoot higher BC bullets. With the 7mm WSM, you can run the 162 AMAX around the 3000 mark or the 180 VLD around 2800 all in a 24" barrel. These are wind busters for sure. Let us know what you decide! M [/QUOTE]
