[QUOTE="lancetkenyon, post: 1494361, member: 68875"] I have a 28" barrel on a 6.5SLR. I can get 2950fps from a 140 HVLD with 43.0gr H4350. Pretty similar to a 6.5CM. But it is a big, heavy 15# rifle. Great for LR steel and sitting and glassing. Not real fun to carry in the mountains. Just finished load development for a 6.5CM w. 24" barrel. 42.5gr H4350 w. 143 ELD-X @ 2814fps. I think the velocity increase is more from barrel length than the .5gr difference in charge weight or 3gr bullet weight. Probably 25fps each per 1" and .5 gr. I feel the 6CM would have similar results. [/QUOTE]
