[QUOTE="James Jones, post: 102374, member: 8843"] don't count the 06 brass out !! Lapua makes it as does RWS both are as good or better than any of the 6.5-284 brass. Both would need to be builton a long action , yea I know , the 6-284 can be built on a short action but you might run into trouble with seating the bullets to deep. The 06 case will probably feed a little smoother but you will have more case streching and probably shorter barrel life. unless your looking to shoot heavy bullets as fast as possible I think that you would be better served with a 243Ai , you can drive a 75gr V-max out to around 4000fps out of a 26" barrel and that does the damage at 400yds that a 220 Swift does at 200. Again you can use Lapua brass , it'll feed well out of a short action and the barrel life will better than the 6-284 or the 6-06 and the velocity differance is minimal, again unless your wanting to drive some heavy bullets out realy far [/QUOTE]
