[QUOTE="strombeckj, post: 545623, member: 28471"] It's all splitting hairs. the 6.5 WSM/RSAUM in a long action would be my choice. (barrel life would be the only draw back) You could shoot the heavier 6.5's in a repeater and skip the fire forming. I shoot a 6mm-06 designed around the 95gr VLD as the max bullet weight. Skipped the AI version since the gain in FPS for my choice of bullet weight was nominal. You may want to think about a 6mm or even a 7mm bullet also depending what your are going to use it for. If it was for deer our smaller game I would go 6mm, deer and larger I would go 7mm. I always choose my bullet and intended target first and then look at the cases that produce my desired FPS and then ask myself "will it be worth the $$ and time" case prep, dies, fire forming, etc... sometimes an extra 100-300fps is not worth it. Take everyones input and then make a choice based on what YOU want. Good luck! Jon [/QUOTE]
