[QUOTE="jlamb, post: 476075, member: 18855"] The 6.5-.375 sounds like a screamer. I'm looking into a 6.5-06 M40. I was speaking to my gunsmith who works pretty close with Sierra and he was saying that the 140grn 6.5 SMK has a "sweet spot" for accuracy at 3000 fps so the 6.5-06 gives just enough powder to hit that velocity and is ~90% packed. The gunsmith also has a 6.5WSM that he did years ago before he verifed the stability issue with Sierra - it's accurate as all getout but he has to keep the velocities at 3000 fps so it's overkill. Post pics when it's done!! [/QUOTE]
