[QUOTE="chris matthews, post: 100456, member: 66"] Thought I would throw in my experience here..... I am currently shooting the 6.5 WSM in 1000 yard BR. My wife won Iowa State championships with it last year (2005) and took top female shooter of the year with it. I am getting 3150 fps over 64 gr H1000 with a Cauterucio 141 gr VLD. Barrel life will be shorter than a 6.5-284 as I am burning more powder and going faster....but has yet to be sen as what it will be...have 500 down it now and the throat still looks new. Building several for hunting/ varmint rifles, but fot competition most stay with the 6.5-284. Would work great for your intended purpose. [/QUOTE]
