[QUOTE="parshal, post: 1147338, member: 605"] I just went through this and went with the 6.5 WSM using new Norma .270 WSM brass and Redding dies. I found Reloder 26 to be best with 130's. 65 grains gave me 3419 but I've since dropped it to 63 grains at 3371 fps in a 26" Proof Concepts carbon barrel. My best group so far is 3/8" at 200 yards with 130 grain Precision Ballistics bullets. I would guess you'll get 3100 fps with no problem with a 26" barrel and could get by with a 24" barrel if you want 3000 fps. I'd bet barrel life would be long at those speeds. [/QUOTE]
