[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 1513817, member: 30902"] You might want to consider 2 rifles both in 6.5. Either a .260 or 6.5CM for targets, high volume type shooting of all kinds and then a screamer to go along with it for your primary hunting rifle. My 6.5LRM is running 140's at 3,400 with a fairly mild load of RL33. I'm still getting used to it and haven't piled up a lot of bodies yet but I'm really liking what I see so far. I realize though at these speeds, barrel life is going to be limited. For the last five years though I've shot the .260's more than anything both for game and predators/varmints putting a lot of rounds through them. I'd have had to replace the barrels on all three of them twice by now if they produced the same velocity/pressures. A super flat shooting screamer is a lot of fun but that kind of performance comes at a pretty high cost. [/QUOTE]
