All right guys which one will reach out and touch the straightest using 130 gr. bullets?
I know the BCs on the 26s are slightly higher than the 27s, but is there enough difference. I own a 264 mag and a 270 wsm and would take it over my 270 wsm or 26 Nosler.

I currently have two of every caliber up 45-70 except 375. This is a fun project because I want one. I love my 270 WSM I have now, never said anything was wrong with it. That being said I am leaning toward going with a 6.5 WSM with a 28" barrel for two reasons. 1) I want a 28" barrel and 2) I want to shoot high BC 140 bullets fast. I enjoy shooting my pre 64 westerner in 264, it has accounted for many deer and elk, but it is retired.

My only comment is, of the overbore 6.5s mentioned, the WSM has the shortest neck. If barrel life is a concern, it's not ideal.

Go for it and share on here is what I would ask I am curious about barrel life and velocities you get. Mike
