[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 663748, member: 30902"] I don't know of any 6.5mm bullets heavier than 140gr available in the US. As for the 6.5STW I'm very familiar with it, and have shot the 7mm STW since shortly after it was first developed. As for the 6.5STW, no sense owning such a barrel burner in my opinion. 2850fps with a quality bullet is more than enough to get the job done with any of the 6.5's and 3000fps is just gravy. Anything more than that simply isn't worth the added pressures and heat. [/QUOTE]
