I want to hear some honest ideas for a relatively fast but efficient 6.5 you would build with these components already on hand. (explain your choice)
Terminus Kratos Lite , .540" LA receiver? (3.8" ejection port)
Bartlein Carbon 24" 7.5 twist #13 Rem Sendero contour
Gunwerks ClymR stock
NX8 4-32 MOA or March CT 2.5-25x52 MTR-3
Bullet considerations: 156 EOL / 131 HH / 125 BD-2's... (something to push the 156's past 3,150 fps is the goal if reasonably possible??)
6.5 Sherman Max
6.5 WSM
6.5/6.8 Western
6.5 RPM
6.5/257 or 300 Wby
6.5/300 PRC
6.5/375 CT - ok, ok, just kidding.
???? just getting you started. I know some on my list like longer tubes than 24"...
Ok, game on.

NOTE: 1) Already got a 6.5x284, 6.5 PRC and 6.5 Creed, so keep them out of the discussion. Want something a little hotter, but still runs decent in a 24" tube. 2) What I do with the rifle is on me. Prefer to keep this about cartridge ideas and not it's intended use - as in whether it's for field mice or rhinos. Ok? 3) Dedicated long-range big-game rifle, not a competition build, so don't factor barrel-life too heavily on this one. |
Ok, game on.
