[QUOTE="Jcann, post: 2972244, member: 33119"] I don't know why the 6.5 Sherman hasn't made a bigger splash. Maybe because it's a wildcat and not the invention of Nosler. It's known in the long range hunting community. It's certainly something to explore if you have a long action you want to rebarrel. There are other fast 6.5 chamberings out there like the 6.5 Remington mag and the GAP 6.5 4S. The Remington Mag is a barrel burner though. The GAP will shoot with the Sherman except it's based off the 7saum case. Hornady makes brass for it and it will launch 140gr bullets between 3,200-3,300fps. Sounds like something maybe you should explore. I've thought about rebarreling to the GAP but I feel I'll have brass issues like with my 7WSM and I'm unsure of the quality of the Hornady brass. I know I could form brass from Nosler 7saum but I really don't want to go down that road and be a slave to the reloading bench. [/QUOTE]
