[QUOTE="nfoley, post: 1141711, member: 17908"] Now that I have some more time to play with it I will certainly play with seating depth Rich. I have plenty of room in my AICS mags to load them out farther. As far as the barrel I really like it a lot! My gunsmith was a little leary when I gave him the barrel to use (he had a bad experience with a carbon wrapped barrel years ago) but ended up really liking it. For me it was a simple matter of wanting a light weight barrel that had enough meat on the end to thread for suppressor. The 6.5 SS is really an awesome cartridge. I had plans to do a 7 mag but this round is flatter and has better wind fighting ability, and only gives up about 40 ft lbs of energy at 1000 yards compared with a 7 mag shooting 168 bergers at 2950 fps (which is what I had in mind for my 7 mag build). And the ability to easily call your shots with the minimal recoil makes the decision very easy in my mind. [/QUOTE]
