[QUOTE="AZShooter, post: 1007398, member: 5219"] Now that you have defined your needs, perhaps a short action in a lightweight stock chambered for the 284 win with a bullet somewhere between 140 gr and 168 gr would work nicely. Using RL-17 I have achieved over 3100 fps with a moly coated 150 nosler ballistic tip with a 23" barrel. H4350 is another good choice. The old standard that Bob Hutton used back in 1963 was a 140 nosler partition with either 57 or 58 gr of IMR 4350 for velocity right at 3000 fps. Some rifles can have their magazine boxes lengthened which helps as long as they feed properly. I used a M77 tang safety and had the mag modified to 3.1". The Ruger feeds this round very slickly. Lapua makes 6.5-284 brass which can be easily necked up. A good high BC choice would be the 168 Berger classic hunter. It would fit better than the a VLD Berger having a its shorter tip. [/QUOTE]
