[QUOTE="6.5 Bandit, post: 374558, member: 1153"] Olson if i were u i would go with the 6.5x284. imho there isnt much need to go much bigger unless your looking for more speed and shorter bbl life. I currently own 2 6.5x300 weahtherby's while i will never be without one they do go through bbls. generally i get about 1200 rounds through one before it goes south on me.. but thats with 140gr amax at around 3500fps... I would get it in a 8 twist to shoot the 140 amax's rthe 142smk's you will get around 3000fps with that set up. i do agree to start smaller like the others have said but it looks like you have dipped into it a bit allready. just my 2cents.
