[QUOTE="lancetkenyon, post: 1623205, member: 68875"] I am more for a bit different cartridges. So I vote for a 6 5SLR for a rifle that will see a lot of rounds. Think .260Rem w. 6.5x47L neck & shoulders. Uses .243 Win or .260 Rem brass. One pass through the FL die gets you a 95% case. I use Rem .243 brass for a no neck turn solution. If you are thinking 26" barrel, expect 2900+fps from a 140 gr bullet. I ran a 28" and got 2950fps before, and my new one with 22" is getting 2840 with a 140gr. Not broken in yet. My daughter has been shooting it since she was 11. Killed a big mule deer buck at 637 with it and dumped him on the spot. 6CM vs 6.5SLR [URL=http://s642.photobucket.com/user/lancetkenyon13/media/6mm%20Build/20180317_111543_zpsf4tkgtqq.jpg.html][IMG]http://i642.photobucket.com/albums/uu142/lancetkenyon13/6mm%20Build/20180317_111543_zpsf4tkgtqq.jpg[/IMG][/URL] If you are going to hunt more than shoot steel, I vote 6.5SS.
