[QUOTE="ishootkittens, post: 1989095, member: 23225"] I have this exactly. 6.5 wsm has been great so far. I have used Retumbo and h1000. Everyone is gushing over the 6.5 PRC but Winchester case design is just as good and efficient. 270 wsm brass is easy to form with one pass and no neck turning. Even though neck turning is always good. Dies are easy to come by (270 wsm die with a .297 bushing) and the seater dies work just fine with a 6.5 seater plug. 63gr of H1000 pushes that 147 eld-m to just over 3k. It can be pushed to about 3150 but then the bolt becomes a bit sticky. That's all with a 23" barrel. [/QUOTE]
