[QUOTE="Mikecr, post: 650111, member: 1521"] I agree with Grayfox. But to clarify a mis-notion elsewhere, the 6.5x284 is capable of way more MV than a 260. 3000+fps is NOT hot for it at all. I shoot a 6.5wssm imp holding same capacity as a 260AI. My accuracy load with a 28" barrel is 3040fps with 140gr bullets, and I do not FL size -ever. My max, the point where FL sizing would be needed, is over 3200fps. Some would call this hot, some would just FL size and go onward. The 6.5x284 holds 11gr more H20 capacity, so it can leave me in the dust easily. Nothing is free. Yet the melonite coating seems potential for gain in barrel life. So what is it's real cost? Hopefully, whatever it is, won't matter to us.. [/QUOTE]
