[QUOTE="demarpaint, post: 58890, member: 655"] Tom As of yet the 6.5 WSM is not a factory round. Most are made by necking down 270 WSM brass. I was told to use Norma 270WSM brass. I haven't shot mine enough to report on it but I can say from reading up on it that it is hard on barrels if you don't allow the barrel to cool. The few times I did shoot mine I was happy with the way it shot. Mine is build on a 700 Long Action with an 8 twist Lilja 3 groove barrel. Next time out I plan on trying Retumbo powder and 123 Scenar Boat tail bullets. 3400 fps is possible. Hope this helps, Frank D [/QUOTE]
