[QUOTE="THUDDOME, post: 2599536, member: 121463"] Yeah having the short action I am careful of compression. My buddy's Spartan Arms is long action so he can get longer OAL. I ended up with the 6.5 because I'm getting older and don't like the recoil from magnums I shot for all those younger years. When Berger released the 156, that was a game changer. This cartridge jumped into long range with that BC. Long range for me is 1000+. So my theory, which has been correct, get that 156 doing close to 3k FPS at muzzle and you have a 1000 yard elk killer, with 14lbs of recoil. And also with the 156s you can compete, like PRS, out to 1900+. That's the bonus package. It's been a fun cartridge to develop. Went to the 156s and never looked back. Advice to your son - 3 things in life you can't have too much of and never sell - Guns, Guitars and Tools! Get him a rifle dad... 😃 [/QUOTE]
