[QUOTE="Aoudad shooter1975, post: 1509436, member: 102560"] not a fan of the 6.5-300 wby...the 2 I shot were a lot of blast for what results we saw on the lab-radar. I think to get the most you would need a 28 in or even longer...lots of powder to burn in there. I love 25s and love the 257 weatherby--trouble is the bullets. Looks like you have one choice for heavy(blackjack) other than that a handful of pretty good 115-120 grains. I'd rebarrel my accumark in a second if I could get 3-4 good choices in bullets say 130-145 grains. In my opinion the 257 wby case is about right for a 6.5...the Mcworter guys do a few every year. Just about the right amount of powder to push that 140 grain bullet fast--just think the 6.5-300 is too much of a good thing...just my 2 centavos [/QUOTE]
