[QUOTE="MagnumManiac, post: 2028353, member: 10755"] I had a 6.5 WSM and, at the time, a 6.5 8mm Rem Mag. This is essentially a 6.5STW. Interestingly, the WSM was only 100fps slower than the STW while using way less powder. I found both finicky to load for, so I abandoned them early. The STW became my switch barrel 300Bee, 340Bee and 375Bee. The 6.5WSM was a long action and it became my switch barrel 270Bee and 264WM. Have never looked back. They were accurate, but dialling in accurate loads was fraught with danger, especially the WSM. Pressure excursions were the norm with that round, not the exception. Cheers. [/QUOTE]
