The answer to "What's the best 6.5"

[Greg Nolan]

The answer is: A 270 WBY. Ultra Light Weight! It's a "NEW MATH" thing :roll:
Thanks to California hunter some un-suspecting Idaho mule deer should be "very scared" and not know why :mrgreen:

A while back I use to run 130 Interlocks in my 270 Bee (an Austrian made Voere actually) anyway....
76 gr IMR 7828 gave me 3500 fps! Straight from the IMR manual. Antelope hunting felt like cheating!

It seems like I run about 100FPS less on you with about everything Fotis with the 270WSM. I was thinking the Weatherby has to be a screamer with the correct set up. I love these fast .277's. I believe Mr. O'Connor would smile a little! Scotty

Greg, all I have to say is your lucky I havn't got rid of my extras yet :mrgreen: I have been drooling over this since it was first posted. I hope she treats you well, that looks like one fine set up. Should do those idaho Mulies with some impressive authority!

70gr /RL22

I allways thought it was a great round, but somehow I never bought one.

Greg, you know the 270'bee is my favorite 6.5! Great choice.

As for loads, i had the same experience as FOTIS with IMR7828ssc - 3500fps with 76gr under a 130gr Imterbond. Accuracy wasn't bad, but it wasn't great, either, and I ended up with 73.5gr under a 130gr E-Tip and am highly satisfied. Mine also likes 150gr Speer flat-based (replaced by the Deep Curl), if you want to double up as elk and deer medicine.
