[QUOTE="stomp442, post: 1116086, member: 70571"] 6.5-284 is a great caliber. I have had 140's up and over 3000fps but the cases didn't last long and the accuracy opened up. 2950 seems to be a great sweet spot for the 140's with excellent accuracy and performance. I don't shoot anything less than 140 grains since they provide the best performance at long range. The 6.5-284 gives you about 150fps advantage over the .260 Remington but at a cost of about 8 grains more powder and more barrel wear. The .260 Ackley Improved is my preferred 6.5 chambering as it can push the same 140's to the same 2950 fps without using as much powder. [/QUOTE]
