[QUOTE="wkevin98, post: 1188023, member: 32008"] Hello All. I know the 6.5 subject is well documented, and having spent the better part of the week looking up old threads, my head is spinning and I'm not sure I know anymore then when I started. I could use some help/advice. I'm looking for advice on where to start with the 6.5 game. I have just started reloading and getting more comfortable all the time with it. I am looking for a mid-sized game gun (no 12-15 lb. models) and to begin exploring into long range shooting. I have mixed feelings on getting into something that requires a lot of brass sizing work. I am leaning towards a .264 win mag right now, but some of the belted case comments cause me to question that. The 6.5-06 stuff looks interesting, as do the AI models. The .260 & creedmoor look like good options that may be easier to start with as well. I'll admit I still have much more to learn on the 6.5 options, but I'm really struggling to pick some direction with it. I do like the idea of something hotter/flatter and I'm ok with the shorter barrel life guns right now. I'm not 100% sure I need to do a full custom build right now either, was having thoughts of snagging a .264 sendero and just get busy shooting. Any thoughts and ideas are appreciated. [/QUOTE]
