[QUOTE="sambo3006, post: 346916, member: 2740"] raul, If you are wanting to shoot past 500 yards I would suggest a 1 in 8" twist barrel so you can shoot the Berger or JLK VLD 140 gr bullets. They have a much higher ballistic coefficient and will be much better downrange performers in flatter trajectory, retained energy and most importantly decreased wind drift. I have a 6.5 WSM and love it. In a 26" barrel you can get 3100-3200 fps with a 140 gr bullet. Lee makes 6.5-300 WSM dies for regular price. They would be a good starter set. [/QUOTE]
