[QUOTE="backwoods83, post: 497758, member: 29890"] Well like I've said I'd go 6.5x284. A 6.5x284 norma case holds 66.2 grains Imr 4350 as does a winchester 30-06 case therefore your going to use the same amount of powder in a 6.5-06 and have a 3.4" oal or more, also the 284 case was pretty well what brought about the WSMs, short and fat, with a 35* shoulder which is more efficient than an 06 case that's the reason a 30x284 will out run a 30-06. So the only cartridge that steps ahead is the 6.5-06AI with more powder space, all in all the 6.5x284 and 6.5-06 can live beyond 2000 rounds if not heated, kept dirty, or treated like there semi autos, and the 6.5-06AI will be a bit harder on barrels but not much.
