6.5 REMINGTON MAGNUM

That would be a good weight to try. I think your rifle is a 9 twist. I imagine the short barrel will be brutal. I shoot 100's in a 6mm 600. And I'm trying 90-100gr in a 6.5 Creedmoor now. I am trying factory Nosler 90, Hornaday 95, and I have some Sierra 100's on the way. So far the Noslers are ¾" at 100yds.

From the factory twist rate list:
6.5 Remington Magnum - 1 in 9"...Rem 600, 660, 700; Ruger 77
This barrel is 20".
I've been using the Nosler E-Tip bullets on several short barreled rifles recently. The velocity for the 6.5 Rem. Mag. will be lower due to the increased length of the solid bullet. The 20" barrels will yield 3250+ approximately using Re-17.
