[QUOTE="wildcat, post: 117034, member: 4557"] When I was thinking about this project, I was originally going to go with a 6mm Ackley Improved. My goal was to be able to push a 75grn V-MAX to around 4000fps and an 87grn V-MAX to around 3800fps. However, after further investigation it was aparent that the 6mm Ackley Improved was not going to get the above mentioned velocities. I began looking at the 6-284, I found that it would give me the velocities I wanted with 75grn and 87grn V-MAX. Plus, case prep will be much easier and I already have a 6.5x284, so I have lots of 6.5x284 Lupa Brass. I will only have to neck down and neck turn. Another plus with this chambering is the quality of brass available. Barrel life? I am sure it's not going to be the longest life of a barrel, but it sure is going to be accurate and fun. This rifle is going to be my dedicated 600 to 800 yard rifle. As soon as she is built, I will post pics. Wildcat [/QUOTE]
