I'm thinking of building me a 6.5 - something or other. I'm tossing out the question here to get some feedback/ suggestions / education / information to help me decide which one.
My goals are:
-Consistent 500 and in shooter. -Occasional target and hunting out further - hunting to around 700 and target out to 1000 (further if I can find a place to shoot that far) -cases fairly easy to find off the shelf or to make from off the shelf brass -Can handle a wide variety of bullet styles -Built on a 700 or Mauser long action (because I have those already) -muzzle velocity of 3000 or slightly more with a 140 gr - sporter-weight barrel
What I'd like to find out is:
- what cartridge and why? - barrel length - anything else I should be thinking of in regards to the 6.5 cartridges.
Thanks in advance.
