[QUOTE="Darryl Cassel, post: 4656, member: 34"] Wecome aboard 6.5 Now your talking. A died in the wool 6.5/300 Weatherby shooter. Have been using that one for many years too, along with others. I have a bunch of the 139 gr bullets left but mainly shoot the 142 Sierra MK with 85 to 87 grs of WC872 (like H870) in my 30" Hart barreled (8 Twist a must), Sako actioned, laminated heavy stock, LR rifle. I have found over the years there are better cartridges but the 6.5/300 is a dandy. We had a Bowling ball hanging on a chain at 1450 yards at a shoot out we have every year. I hit that ball with my 6.5 and the 142 gr Sierra MK and it blew a chunk out of that ball bigger then the size of a grapefruit and it was thrown in the air about 15 feet. A great LR rifle and 3350 FPS is about the velocity they all seem to get with the powder and bullets mentioned. Good hunting to you [img]images/icons/wink.gif[/img] Later DC By the way----who's your Dad? I may know him. [ 03-02-2003: Message edited by: Darryl Cassel ] [/QUOTE]
