[QUOTE="Boss Hoss, post: 825845, member: 5060"] Mike--careful here... I have a built 6.5 wssm and it will not shoot with my 6.5x284's yes plural. I have worn out 6.5x284 brass. Both built by the same Smith, both have dies cut from the reamers, both used Buhay measured bullets, both had 25 fps or less spreads which is no big deal at 300 but still used over 20 different loads with the 6.5 wssm----could not get to the same accuracy. The other BIG plus is the brass----Lapua 6.5x284 is easy to buy then prep.... Then again ----- the difference was not that much but still. I get 1500 to 1800 rounds through my match tubes that would still be good accuracy wise for a couple of thousand more additional in a sporter. Barrel Burner no not really---most people are clueless on how to clean a tube properly and think it is shot out. Before someone says something stupid yes I know what I am talking about... A Bore Scope Does Not Lie..... All of that said---I have 6.5x284 sporters as well and like the 6.5 wssm (sporter not for competition) just because of the short action and I am smitten with it..
