[QUOTE="7magcreedmoor, post: 1016603, member: 48559"] I have both of these in 111 actions, centerfeed mags. If you run the bolt too slow, the 6.5/284 will occasionally porpoise out of line, but as long as you close it like you mean it, it feeds fine. I run the 6.5 140VLD at 2875 with H4831sc for best accuracy, but did see 3050fps during load development. The 280AI is running right at 3000 with 168VLDs using Retumbo. Both rifles have 26 inch barrels. When the 6.5 is shot out, it will probably become another 280, I expect the barrels to last longer with the 7mm bore and may as well have the increased energy downrange from the heavier bullet.
