[QUOTE="Exhaust3, post: 31879, member: 1820"] The problem with the big cases is effeciency of the powder burning. I have a friend that built a 6.5 Wolf. It's basically the 378 Wby necked to 6.5 mm. I have a 6.5-06AI that will do everything the Wolf does, but more effeciently. The fastest we could push the 142 SMK's out of the Wolf was a shade under 3400 fps. and that was with a 40" Christensen Arms carbon wrapped barrel. I have a 26" Montana Rifleman that can push the 142's @ 3100 fps.. The extra powder and barrel length really hindered the rifle. Stick with something efficient in the powder department. [/QUOTE]
