[QUOTE="sable tireur, post: 1072322, member: 27307"] While I agree with the thinking about the 6.5 Remington Mag as a cartridge, the major drawback is with the brass supply. It has been on the 'seasonal' list at Remington for the last several years so the supply line is empty. Those of us who have brass are unwilling to part with it until a new supply hits the pipeline. Sure you can make it from any standard belted magnum case but it's still a nuisance. Since it's a hunting rifle, 20 cases or so should last a lifetime so the time investment would be minimal. You can get away with this idea by using any of the cartridges you name combined with a heavier bullet and a couple of powders. The .270 WSM with a 150 gr. Nosler Partition over a nearly full load of H-100V will get you your velocity target but will certainly get your attention at the buttstock. The H-100V is a perfect match with the Nosler 130 gr. BT. This would probably be my choice as the recoil would be reduced. Other combinations exist but you have to decide on how many to test. Regards. [/QUOTE]
