[QUOTE="Varmint Hunter, post: 1284285, member: 313"] The 6.5x284 seemed to be "the cartridge" for 1,000 yd benchrest at one time. Interestingly enough, it got a reputation for being hard on throats. The 6.5x06 would likely use more powder to achieve the same velocity. Presumably, that would further hasten any throat wear. I'd go with the 6.5x284 and use the Lapua brass. There wouldn't be enough velocity difference to measure and you wouldn't have to reform brass or have improperly headstamped brass. [/QUOTE]
