6.5 Rem mag
I believe on this load I used 55 grain of H4350 but I don't have it in front of me at this moment. The round looks darn near identical to a 300 WSM except it has a belt and of course the 6.5 bullet.
I love how it shoots and what it will do.
I killed a good sized 150 lb doe with it this past year using a 100 grain tipped Barnes and I wasnt pushing it hard and it still broke out out 2" of ribs going into front of chest, obliterated one lung and imbedded right under skin on opposite side of deer about three feet away from entry point. I was very pleased.
I'm probably going to try 120 grain tipped barnes and bump it a touch faster.
