[QUOTE="Nimrodmar10, post: 813466, member: 36369"] Drilldog The 6.5 RM is a great deer cartridge. If you look though, I think you'll see that it has the same case length as the 6.5-284 Norma which is based on the 284 Win. which was designed to work in a short action. I, like you, put it in a long action so I can seat the Berger 140 gr. VLDs out long. The case capacity on the 6.5-284 is also a tiny bit bigger than the 6.5 RM so I would think the velocities would be about the same. I'm shooting the Berger 140 VLD at 3057 fps out of a 24 inch barrel. I'm guessing you're getting about the same out of your 6.5 RM, but I could be wrong. [/QUOTE]
