[QUOTE="MkJose, post: 1627919, member: 107218"] The 6.5 Saum will give you an easy 100-200 FPS more than the 6.5x284 if you consider 6.5x284 velocites at 2950-3000 with a 140, the saum is more difficult to form as you have to neck it down, barrel life should be less with the Saum than the 6.5x284 I cannot verify this as I have only just got mine. All depends what you want it for, if It's for regular F class (long range) I would not use either! any of the 7mm from the .284 up to the 7/270WSM will do a better job, i have mine as an experiment to push the limits and see if a 6.5 at speed can compete with a 7mm (i have a 7mm Saum barrel as well) The jury is still out, I will use it at long range shortly and see what happens.
