[QUOTE="Greyfox, post: 1444333, member: 10291"] You didn’t state what your purpose is for the rifle. For hunting to 1000 Yards, I would tend to agree with stwcattle that the benefit of the heavies in the 6.5x284 are not material enough, and the current offerings in the 140 weight class well proven. IMO, they will probably prove to be more effective in the larger capacity variants of the 6.5. I will be very interested in seeing the 150-155gr performance on game, as there are few reports out ay this early stage to draw firm conclusions. I personally choose the “minimum” twist rate neccessary to “fully” stabilize(1.5) my choice in bullet, preferring not to comprimize accuracy and throat erosion, a well proven effect of excess twist observed by bench rest shooters for many years.
