[QUOTE="Mysticplayer, post: 27243, member: 8947"] Depends on what you want to do. For taking a 142gr MK to extreme vel, it would be the ticket. Barrel life would be very short. Only powders are in the 872, 50BMG range. Longer barrels would be a necessity. Wouldn't bother for hunting at LR. Bullet weight too light for 1000+ ranges. Sort of the 220Swift for a hunting cartridge. I like the 6.5WSM/RSAUM design better for a barrel burner. Of course, the 6.5-284/Swede AI have a proven track record. The 6.5WSSM should make a nice BR case. Lots of fun...Wretched excess Jerry [/QUOTE]
