[QUOTE="Reload10, post: 1247858, member: 94704"] Thank you for all of the replies!! I don't want to limit myself on distance, I'm kind of a "buy once cry once" guy, so don't want to build a rifle and then have to build another after a while. Would like this to be able to shoot 800+ yds. I kind of like the shorter, fatter cases... almost tempted to go 6.5WSM since I have some 270WSM brass available, but I don't have a large shank action and I think the WSM brass would feed like garbage from the 270 mag box. I'm going to seat some 140 bergers in my 284 brass and see how they fit in the magazine. I know i can't get them in the current 270 barrel, but I'll monitor how they start to extract from the mag. I have RE22, H1000, Retumbo, and 4831SC powder to try once I decide on a cartridge. I would hope that the x284 would get 3k FPS with 140's on one of those powders... [/QUOTE]
