[QUOTE="orangeride, post: 530727, member: 19863"] Your in luck. Between my dad, myself and my brothers we've got 4 6.5x300 rum between us. There all on rem la 700's with #5 shillen stainless between 26" and 27" . With the 27" you can get 3450-3500 FPS with a 140gr moly bullet and 3550 to 3600fps with the 130 gr moly swift. We've been running 87.5 gr Hodgen retumbo with the 130's. You'll get 800 or so rounds out of your first throat and 300 or less out of your second. The shillens tend to shoot better and better then they go to crap so fast you'll think the scope came lose. I'm thinking a Krieger might give a little more life. Also this round is real hard on brass. In 3 firings the primers will get real lose. If you choose to go this route let me know. I've got years of load development. It will save u a lot of barrel life. We typically shoot 1-1.5" 3 shot groups at 300 yards. [/QUOTE]
