Seems to me it makes sense to take a 300 wsm case and neck it to 6.5 to get any serious beneift over the 6.5 crapmoor I am surprised we haven't seen a 6.5 WSM, honestly. What about the 6.5 PRC and RSAUM and even the 6.5 RM? The WSM case doesn't hold that much more powder.

Tejano, Agreed that there are plenty of options in 6.5, but I just always liked the idea of the WSM case in some different bore sizes?

Agree I am trying to shoot out the barrel on a 270 WSM so I can replace it with either a fast twist 270 or a 6.5mm barrel. It works fine as is but isn't looney enough.

Depends on how hot you get the barrel

Normal shooting and hunting not target accuracy I am guessing 2,500 to 3,000 rounds based on the 7RM. It could turn out to be closer to the 6.5-284 and the 64-65,000 psi has to accelerate this too, that would put it in around the 1,500 round range.

It could turn out to be closer to the 6.5-284 and the 64-65,000 psi has to accelerate this too, that would put it in around the 1,500 round range. Given those pressures and if it runs about like the 6.5-284, I’d guess 1,500 or so. My 6.5-284 has around 500 down the tube, a 26” Krieger. Thru the Hawkeye I see early throat erosion, not quite the “blacktop road” look, but some wear. Still shooting sub MOA. As long as it performs like that, it’ll be good to go. If groups start going south, they do make new barrels every day. DF
