[QUOTE="Greyfox, post: 1017370, member: 10291"] Having spent years as a wildcat, the 6.5-284 has been supplied in varied chamber configurations. I would specify this to your gunsmith or barrel maker. If you are planning on using 140 VLD's with Norma/Lapua brass I would recommend the throat be specified to have the 140 VLD contact the lands at 3.18-3.19" COAL to the lands. The chamber neck should be .296-.298" to accommodate neck sizing at .292". I personally like a 1:8 twist, 26" barrel using this bullet. I have seen a lot of 6.5-284's that have a lead that is too short to accommodate the 140 VLD's and take advantage of the case capacity which will produce 2950-3000FPS. IMO. [/QUOTE]
