[QUOTE="2Old2Care, post: 2481898, member: 121800"] When Weatherby came out with the RPM (6.5-284 Long) I thought it was a great balance between performance and efficiency, so I took the bait and bought a Backcountry. After I shot it a little, I decided to rechamber a Ruger 77 from 6.5-284 with a Schnider barrel to the RPM and totally love them both. The nine-pound Ruger for sitting in blinds and the Backcountry for walking around. Both are very accurate and really smacks steel with authority out to 1k. Not as fussy about feeding as the little/short fat 6.5s. As yet, I haven't shot an elk with one, but would; definitely Thor's Hammer on antelope and deer. I found most of my brass at Sportsman's Warehouse. Might be something better for bullets, but the Hornady 143 ELD-X has worked great for me. [/QUOTE]
