[QUOTE="HARPERC, post: 1219583, member: 30671"] Good answer opens, the parameters a little bit. i think the 6.5's are where you want to be, and I'd keep to the 6.5-284 or 6.5-06 powder capacity range. The bullet is the main thing. Recommended twist rates are going up, as the bullets get longer, and heavier. Don't be afraid to go with a faster twist than what we might have used a while back. Hammer has a 137 grain 6.5 they're recommending a 1-7" for, and I've heard Berger is raising their recommendations as well. [/QUOTE]
