[QUOTE="Alibiiv, post: 1995784, member: 69192"] I've read the OP about what you intend to do with the 6.5 RemMag or the 6.5PRC. I would check on availability of brass for the 6.5 RemMag (and cost) if you choose to go that route. The 6.5 SS sounds seems like a good place to go if Rich gets the ADG brass, so no fireforming brass; that can be a PITA for me.. I am a fan of the .270, I have a .270AI and very happy with it. With that said oftentimes the .270 WSM is overlooked. It too has the ballistics that you want to attain, just throwing it out there because you seem to be looking for ideas. Many years ago, when dinosaurs were walking the earth, I owned a 6.5 RemMag in the Remington 600 when it first came out. It had the funny, plastic raised rim on the 16 or 18 inch barrel. It was an extremely accurate rifle, it liked the 140 gr Nosler partition bullets. I shot a lot of deer with that rifle, it was truly lethal on them with that bullet. Good luck with your build.
