[QUOTE="pafisher, post: 63646, member: 3956"] I'm looking to build one or two hunting rifles on a remington style short action for large deer out to 500 yards. I've been thinking about building them based on the Remington SAUM cartridge and want to use a 6.5mm round like the 142gr SMK. What do you guys think of the shortened 6.5 version discussed here (58 gr water capacity)? [url="http://www.zediker.com/books/rifleshooter/rs_web_promos/rs_ammunition_spread.pdf"]http://www.zediker.com/books/rifleshooter/rs_web_promos/rs_ammunition_spread.pdf[/url] It looks like a 6.5mm 142 gr. Sierra MK @ 3100 will deliver deliver sufficient energy @ 500 yards (> 1500). The shorted SAUM case described in the article looks like it will perform roughly like the 6.5x284, but feed well in the short action. So what do you guys think of such a combination? thanks in advance, paul [/QUOTE]
