[QUOTE="Jeff32, post: 1504664, member: 62344"] Ok I’m gonna be the dick here after reading his question and then multiple replies of peoples personal agenda on a caliber. I’ve got a few different 6.5’s so I can only speak on the one that will do your 3 grand in speed and that I have had success with MULTIPLE POWDERS (that was the question) The 6.5-284 has done just that, I have used 3 different powders with heavier bullets, I’ve also now stretched out to a 1000 yards successfully. I can’t speak on the 6.5-06 since I don’t have one to try multiple powders on. I can tell you the 6.5-284 acts a little differently than most other rounds I reload in the fact it wants to shoot full powder loads, most other rounds like to slow down a bit but not this one. Maybe the barrel maybe my OAL length or what ever but this thing likes to run. I saw lots of posts for wildcats/off the cuff 6.5’s, I can tell you I would avoid any WSM type of cases after so many other WSM’s being scrapped and people are charging mint for brass. I have a 243 WSM that flies but the **** brass is a pain. This is my one and only WSM type of round!!! Hopefully I have simplified it with answers to your exact question??? [/QUOTE]
