[QUOTE="elkaholic, post: 1410361, member: 13833"] The WM is a good performer but known to be hard on barrels. If you don't shoot that much, it is a good choice. The 6.5/284 won't give the same performance as the WM but is a jump above the Creedmoor. It is not particularly easy on barrels either. The PRC is a little better performer than the /284 version, but the brass is crap. The 6.5 Saum GAP would be my pick of the factory stuff with good velocity and better barrel life. If you don't mind working with wildcats, the 6.5 Sherman is the best of everything, IMO, because it is on an '06 case size with WM performance and far less powder. It is simple to fire form and gets good barrel life. If you want a short action that performs like a WM, then the SS "Sherman Shortmag" is the way to go and there will be head stamped brass available for it this summer. [/QUOTE]
