[QUOTE="BlackKnight755, post: 533502, member: 25675"] Gils, Speaking from competition shooting experience... I shoot the 6.5's at 3000 or less for optimum accuracy. You could use the RUM case and get a lot more velocity out of the 6.5 but I don't know if the accuracy would be there. I know the Bergers wouldnt stand the added velocity though... they would be a mist of molten medal way before they got to where they were going especially with a high twist rate barrel. I shoot a 6.5-284, I get around 1200 rounds on a barrel before I have to have it set back and I would have no problems with taking deer size critters out to 1000 yards or so. Its not a speed demon but I know what I aim at I can hit... if I want to drag out the speed demon I got a 300 RUM that I launch 155 Bergers at 3970 from, and when they get to where they are going they make a big mess. Good luck on your build, BK [/QUOTE]
