I wasn't overly impressed with it.

If I was in the market for a hot rod 6.5 it would be based off the 264 WM.

FYI I get 3000 +/- fps from the 6.5-06 (26" bbl) and a 142 smk, 140 berger.

most 6.5 pills like the 2900-3000 fps velocities as it is.



Rock on??

Already have a 6.5-06 AI that shoots 140 Bergers at 3050 in a 24" barrel, but it's an 8 1/2 lb. rifle. I'm thinking a lightweight, in a rifle built around WSM cases i.e. a Kimber Montana.

Already have a .264 (or two) and likewise, tough to make it work in a true lightweight.

Already have a lightweight 7 WSM, just getting the barrel set back so sooner or later gonna have to re-barrel and looking at the options.
