[QUOTE="chris matthews, post: 44165, member: 66"] [b]Re: 6.5 WSM anyone have any pro\'s or con\'s?[/b] Just built one for WyoWhisper, shoots really good but kinda finicky. Building one for myself for 1000 yd benchrest. Buddy of mine shoots two of 'em at Iowa. It has put his name in the back of Precision Shooting several times. Pretty consistent .5 MOA at 1000. Typically can't use Sierra MK. Amax's, Cateuricio or maybe Berger's, JLK, Clich River would be better choices. Pushes 140ish bullets around 3400-3500. People will tell you it's hard on throats, but my buddy has around 1000 rounds on one of his and it's still shooting. Good round but almost too much of a good thing. If you are inexperienced at reloading/wildcatting stick to the 6.5-284. [ 11-05-2003: Message edited by: chris matthews ] [/QUOTE]
