[QUOTE="Greyfox, post: 561917, member: 10291"] Both my rifles (savage and cooper) are commercially available rifles in 6.5x284 Norma, and came standard with a throat to accommodate the VLD bullets. This round used to be a wildcat but this is no longer the case since Norma standardized it. A lot of people, particularly competition shooters, still specify custom chambering dimensions fot this round. If you were to have a custom barrel installed on your action the most common approach would be to specify to your barrel in a 6.5-284 Norma spec chamber throated for 140VLD's and a barrel twist of 1:8. The length should be at least 26". This set-up would accommodate all the standard components listed in my previous post and still enable you to use factory ammo, or lighter bullets in Standard or VLD style. Hope this helps. [/QUOTE]
