[QUOTE="tim jurczak, post: 719131, member: 14869"] Swamplord, have you actually fired this chambering? I don't ask you this because I'm disputing your claims but rather to see how user friendly it is overall. Muzzle blast powder selection and fouling. I have been using a 6.5 STW and really love it although I'll be the first to admit it can be a real A-HOLE at times too. Pressure spikes, weird flyers, and with the real slow powders I get 80 FPS spreads. I assume it is because my 26" barrel is too short??? When I had this rifle built I suggested to the gunsmith that I may like to have my rifle chambered in 6.5 RUM or 6.71 Blackbird and he said no. It is a lighter weight gun so I'm happy but I still wonder what could have been. On the other hand I'm debating whether I should double up for my heavy LR rifle and stay with STW for simplicity sake or go BIG! LOL Tim [/QUOTE]
