6.5 WSM on Ruger M77 MKII LA.

[backwoods83]

Ruger M77 MKII action.
Custom bolt knob installed as well.
Hart 27" medium sporter 9 twist in 6.5 WSM.
Harrells radial brake.
Trigger sping kit, breaks at 22oz.
Ruger to picatinny 20moa adapter.
Boyds thumbhole, floated but not bedded.
100pcs brand new Bertram 6.5 wsm headstamp brass.
Short load development on this one using Winchester 270wsm brass necked down. Settled at 74grns of RL33 under a 140 hunting vld and 215M primer. Load ran 1/2 moa at 3420fps, used it to take 3 whitetail, and quickly realized, it's way too destructive for small deer, basically like hitting them with a dump truck. Will also let Lee 6.5 wsm dies go with it. $1150 shipped.

Gorgeous rifle you have here. I've found vlds are very destructive on game. Switch to a mono or bonded bullet and it won't be as bad. Glws.

I appreciate that, but another reason for the sale, is that I have about every 6.5 imaginable, and if I hunt with a 6.5 these days, I either use a custom 6.5x55 or 6.5 Remington magnum, they are 200-325fps slower, and don't cause as much damage. I've also had terrible past experience with monos. I mostly use a 6CM or 6GT these days.

Let me know if you decide to go the trade route I have a couple rifles I've been considering selling.

I've been searching for another custom action, Origin, Solus, TL3. Also looking for an Ares ETR 4.5-30 or Cronus BTR 4.5-29
