it is more often called the 6.5wsm. it can be loaded using 300 or 270 wsm brass. i have one i bought used so i have no idea of the round count. im pushing a 120g nosler bt to 3150 and i think it is actually a bit of a mild load for the caliber. mine is a remington 700 with a 26" heavy sporter...

Re: accuracy shooting a dirty rifle
was told it was a kreiger when i bought it used. was told it was built by greg tannel and the "6.5/270wsm .297 neck" on the barrel matches his font. it doesn't have gre'tan on it though. it is the best shooting rifle i have ever owned, just drives me nuts...
Re: accuracy shooting a dirty rifle
it does foul badly. takes a lot to get it clean even after a half dozen shots. i knew there must have been a reason i got it so cheap. the guy i bought it from was a benchrest guy. i mostly use it for deer hunting so it really isnt an issue i guess, just...
