[QUOTE="nickbracewell, post: 79317, member: 2692"] IAN Have you been peeking at my chrono? [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shocked.gif[/img]Unfortunately the seemingly impressive velocities i get from my swede are by using light bullets.I get a comfortable 3100fps with the 100 Nosler B/T.This is excellent Roe medicine,but if i go 140 grain i cannot hope to keep up with a 6.5x284.The swede simply does not have the capacity. The 6.5x55 Ackley is indeed a superb performer but i think i am right in saying that dies are expensive and also you obviously need to fire form the cases. The 6.5x284 on the other hand has off the shelf Redding dies and ready to go Lapua brass. As for the 6.5WSM vs 6.5x284 accuracy debate all i can say to that is i simply have no idea which is superior.What i can say though is the 6.5x284 has been shown time and time again to be a superb long range cartridge and would be my choice if starting from scratch.
