[QUOTE="Outlaw6.0, post: 563865, member: 23486"] I started with the exact scenario you have right now, LA 700 originally chambered in 30-06. I ended up with the 6mm-284, ballistic twin of the 6mm-06 & 240 WBY, the ability to use Lapua & Norma brass (use the Lapua) & has a background of setting a 1000yd world benchrest record (info from Sierra reloading manual). So what does it mean? '06 bolt face (rebated rim), highest quality brass available, proven accuracy & one of the most potent 6mm's on the planet. BBL life will stink in competition i'm sure, but for LR 'yotes & Deer/goats it's hard to beat for sure. On a side note, I also have a 6mmAI built on a Savage 110 (1-12 bbl), it is also proving to be an extremely accurate cartridge with several 3-shot groups measuring in the .3's @ 100yds (85grn bullet @3500fps). I think there is more velocity to be had, but this is a great node for me. [/QUOTE]
