OP ShortRifleFan Campfire Member S Joined: Apr 2010 Posts: 153 Georgia	For my purposes, I want to shoot 120 grain mono metal bullets in a 6.5 CM. Is that realistic? What barrel length is needed, 22”, 24”, or 26”? This is for a new bolt rifle or a rebarreled M70. I don’t own a 6.5 CM at this time. Recommended powder, primer, and brass also appreciated. I have a bunch of 120 gr TTSX, ETip, and GMX leftover from a 6.5 M96 Swede... Got it covered with the 22 LR, 30-06, and 12 gauge. The rest are just for fun.
