[QUOTE="TGScott, post: 23904, member: 831"] Yeah, its that Canadian south paw again. Can anybody tell me what they're using in the 6.5-284 and what kind of velocities I can achieve (reasonably) with 120s and 140s out of a 24" bbrl? Can you duplicate 6.5-06 velocities? I've been discussing my SA pjct. with the gunsmith I've selected (Karl Schmidt out of Edm.) and he strongly suggests using a standard length rather than a short action. I'm also down to either a Rem. 700 long action or a Sako (available in stainless which I prefer) Any advice on the Sako vs. the Rem? I like the idea of good Norma brass but I got spooked by a knowledgeable friend who had a bad experience years ago with very poor .284 brass, and therefore frustration with a 6.5-284. This is likely a once in a lifetime project and I don't want to screw up, so I apologize in advance for what probably seems like a bunch of dumb questions. Thanks TGS [/QUOTE]
