Something about Sierra's 175 MK he can't pass up. Peregrino

Peregrino:
I have no experience with the 6.5 WSM so can't comment too much. I do believe a shorter and fatter cartridge case probably burns the powder more efficiently than a long skinny case though. The issue may be a supply of relatively inexpensive brass. Not sure what the barrel life would be -- probably about the same as any other magnum.
