[QUOTE="liltank, post: 434570, member: 13275"] I just went to reloader's nest.com. He is using 62.0grns of RL19 in a 30" tube getting 3320fps with a 140VLD in a SAUM case. Another load is a 6.5WSM with H1000 pushing a 140 SGK to 2940 with 59.2grns of powder. I would imagine with a VLD and RL17 or something similar in burn rate should be able to push it into the 3050-3100fps ball park, but that is merely speculation. Not owning the caliber it's hard to say. There are some guys on this sight that own the 6.5 shorts so you may want to post something like, "Need reloading info on 6.5 WSM or SAUM" and see what your response is. You may want to look at the ballistics of a 270WSM with a 150grn bullet. You can push them close to the numbers you want and from what I read, devastating on game. I'm seeing 3100 to 3200fps with Berger VLD 150 posting some good groups. That will get you to the 1000 mark for deers and antelopes. That's out of a 24" barrel too. Tank [/QUOTE]
