[QUOTE="Outlaw6.0, post: 576595, member: 23486"] I ordered a Stiller SA/LH mag bolt face from Greg Young (Southern Precision Rifles) about a month ago. Just got off the phone with him minutes ago to complete the order of my 31" AMU 6.5cal 1-8.4" BBL blank. The 6.5WSM is the caliber of choice here (Norma 270WSM brass), I think it would excel at everything you are looking at doing EXCEPT the tac matches. I feel the 6.5 would toast the throat fairly quickly in relatively few matches (thinking rapid fire). I also shoot a Lazz Patriot (300 short mag) for hunting, the 300 is going to boot you a little more but a quality brake will solve that. The 300 should offer a good bit of extra bbl life as well, preliminary research suggests the 6.5 will offer better ballistics w/the 130grn CE I intend to shoot but that has yet to be proven :D If you are serious about tac matches, go with the 6.5 SAUM or chamber for the 300WSM and run with it.
