[QUOTE="dakor, post: 67032, member: 2204"] Chuckster from what you have told you really need to think about a 9 twist it will still shoot the smaller bullets I have even tried the 55 grain Ballistic Tips in mine and it shot them very well. As for velocity I have a 28inch barrel but my dad has a 25inch K&P 12 twist barrel and he is getting 3710 FPS with 80 grain bergers and 55 grains of R-19. I would say you should get good velocity but I would put a 28inch barrel on it. Most people think the 6-284 does not give you much over a 6mm Rem because of what reloading manuals say. The reloading manuals underate this cartridge so bad it makes me sick.
