[QUOTE="Rugerjim, post: 2177953, member: 109681"] Hey team. Yet another 6.5 thread, however specifically I need a gully jumping deer round that bucks some wind out to about 700-800meters max. The gun : How’s long action in a beautiful Mark V weatherby timber stock. 26” bbl Swan barrel 🥰 To be clear, So I can’t say why but I have to run a 6.5. Can’t go 7 etc etc, so right from the start, it’s a 6.5! Most shots are within 10 feet or 500 meters, very open hilly country but with many creeks and rivers between. So my options are 6.5-280AI (cheap 270 brass everywhere, must be fireformed). more rounds in the mag. 140s up to 3200??? 6.5 WSM no fireforming, ? Stratospheric speeds. Barrels toast in 500/600 shots. A ***** to tune? 6.5 PRC. Just a magnum version of the creed... and we all know about “those” creed shooters. Brass is super expensive though. 🙄 Looking to hear thoughts on the matter. [/QUOTE]
