Post by westcoasthunter on Dec 15, 2020 at 2:38pmI just got my carbon six prefit for my tikka in 6.5 Sherman max . W-8t 24” had anyone shot any hammer buller of of one? Looking for kid info and velocity think it could be a good fast combo for hunting |

Post by beeman on Jan 1, 2021 at 10:32amI’m wanting to test some 123AH out of my 6.5 Sherman. Not the max but speeds should be very high I think. I drive a 140 Berger out of my 28” Hart at 3339 FPS. So with the right powder I think I can get the 123 cooking. |

Post by gltaylor on 3 minutes agoJust found this old post. Don't know if anyone's interested. Most of my testing with the 6.5 bullets (85, 92, etc.) was with this chambering. It's basically a 6.5 SAUM Imp.. It is capable of blistering speeds! I Love It! |
I thought about 6.5WSM for my long barrel(29.5") build, but I have amassed over 500 new unfired 6.5RemMag cases. I'm building on a LA 700 that used to be my 300RUM. If I happen to burn the throat, I might have chamber recur to 264Win or 26 Nosler.
