The current Rifle magazine has an excellent article on 6.5 cartridges by one of my top writers, Dave Scovill. Pappy348, I would read it and buy the 6mm Rem you always wanted. I have a 1965ish 700 BDL in 6mm Rem that is a tack driver and such a joy to shoot. Life is simple without worrying about BC's and shots past 300 yards. Range and twirl a turret when necessary.
