[QUOTE="Varminator 911, post: 1123459, member: 9705"] If you want a 6.5 go with a smaller case. Nothing bigger than the 264 mag. The RUM case is too big for anything under 7mm. The 7mm RUM using 180-195 grain Bergers will be vastly better at long range than anything of 6.5 caliber. The only advantage I can see is less recoil at 6.5 caliber vs 7mm or 300 RUM. For my money the RUM case is best at 308 caliber shooting 230 Berger. That's vastly superior at range to any 6.5 caliber and longer barrel life. You can shoot the 230 Berger in a standard 10 twist barrel. The 195 Berger in 7mm requires a faster than standard twist. Sometimes the original is best and that includes 300 RUM. [/QUOTE]
