[QUOTE="backwoods83, post: 737648, member: 29890"] our first test with the 6.5wsm Imp will be in a 1:8.7" twist barrel, reamer was ordered with a radious neck/shoulder junction and we believe this will pass the life of the 264wm and with the 8.7" twist we're hoping to see 3350fps with a 140 berger from a 27" barrel without any jacket distortion, if it doesn't work we will either slow them down a little or rifle a 9.1" twist barrel. The new 270 pills should be great, but the bergers require a faster than normal twist rate, I know in most cases the 165 Matrix will stabilize in a 10 twist but a 1:9.5" would do it some good as well. If I wasn't wanting a wildcat I would go with a straight 300WSM, if I was doing a wildcat and didn't like the idea of the 6.5 I would do a 7x300wsm. I wouldn't use a Shilen barrel either, but everyone has there opinion on that as well. [/QUOTE]
