[QUOTE="Willys46, post: 338455, member: 6536"] Just a thought, The 140 VLD really like to go about 2950 fps. That is where the accuracy is. With my 6.5284 i can push them fast, but gain nothing. At 1000 yrds its still going 1649 fps with 845 energy, and at 1200yrds 1424 fps with 631 energy. So that may leave you with the 142SKM and the 140 amax. I love my 6.5 and it with 140 bergers it runs almost identical to my 7 rem mag with 168 VLDs. I think you can get the preformance you looking for with a great reduction in barrel life. With what you looking for power requirments, i think I would look elses where. If your stuck with 6.5, you just have to accept barrel wear. Have you thought about the 7mm, i think you can accomlish your goals much easier, Say 280AI or just the 284 win. [/QUOTE]
