6.5 WSM

[OKIE2]

I just today put my 6.5 wsm barrel on my savage 110.
I am loading 65.0 grains of N160 with 85 grain seirra HP.
No signs of high pressure.
I don't know what valocity I am geting but it is very accurate.
The barrel is stainless 22" long.

Re: 6.5 WSM

Barrel burners? I don't know yet but I have built a 22-243AI
6-06 AI 6mm-350 rem mag and my 220 swift shooting a 40 grain
at 4463 FPS. They are all a lot of fun to shoot anyway.

Re: 6.5 WSM

I loved mine for about 450 rounds and then the accuracy went south and never came back. I think the 6.5 WSM would be a great 1,000 F-class round if nitriding barrels gets more life.
