[QUOTE="IdahoCTD, post: 865247, member: 13110"] I run a 6.5-300wm and in a 28" barrel I get 3340fps using Nosler brass, Retumbo, and 140gr Amax's. In a 26" barrel 3200fps should be relatively easy. Cases are easy to form, one swipe through my 7-300wm die (a 7rm die would do it as well) and then through a backed out .264wm and your good to go. I use a generic Hornady 6.5mm seater. I shot a deer last year @ 1006yds with it and it claimed the life of two elk earlier this year. I'll probably build a slightly lighter version soon as well with a 26" barrel that's about .700 at the muzzle. [/QUOTE]
