[QUOTE="Kevin Cram, post: 201205, member: 2215"] I have 2 personal 6.5-.284's but are the John Hoover design with a .297" neck dia. Very little difference from the 6.5-.284 Win. One is in a 45 lb. heavy gun with a 30" Shilen barrel 1-9 twist and shoots the 142g SMK's with Lapua brass and H4831SC at 2950 fps. My other rifle is my varmint rifle with a 27" Shilen barrel 1-9 twist and shoots the 140g A-max with Lapua brass and H4831SC at 2980. I have enough energy (my min. 800 ft/lbs) to take deer out to around 900 yards. Works great but, keep a close eye on a consistent seating depth as the throats burn out rather quickly. [/QUOTE]
