[QUOTE="elkaholic, post: 1024275, member: 13833"] I have two 6.5's that will fill the bill. The long version 6.5 Sherman will outperform any 6.5 with an 'o6 head size, has good barrel life and is easy to form. I have the reamer and Whidden custom dies in stock so you can be shooting as fast as your smith can put it together. You can reach 3100' with 160's in a 26" barrel and 3200 with 150's The short mag version 6.5 SS (based on the SAUM case) will cycle the long bullets through a short action (no need to single feed). There is no loss in performance over the SAUM and it has a better neck and less case stretching. It has a couple of extra steps in forming the cases but is not that difficult. A day of case forming will yield nearly a barrel life with the Norma brass. The dies and reamers are also in stock for the SS. PM me if you want more details...........Rich [/QUOTE]
