[QUOTE="Limbic, post: 337809, member: 11905"] The problem with .284 anything is recoil. I know it is kinda the darling right now. 2008 winner and such. I've never shot a .284 so I can't really speak intelligently but I do know a 7mag with 68g of Retumbo and 180vld and 3000fps MV is a hoss. Recoil isn't terrible but I don't know if I want to shoot it all day for 50-60 rounds. 280AI? I've got the barrel for one but never shot it. Thinking about getting a hunting rifle made with this chamber. Good MV and no belted case. Plus it is just cool. My F-class is a 6BRX. Kinda like a dasher and shoots good. As far as the 6.5 I think the 6.5x284 wins out over the 260 and 6.5x47. Unless barrel life is considered:) I like my 260. I get 3000 fps with 129SST and 2800 with the 130VLD. Accuracy load not velocity for the VLD. If I had to have on gun it would be the 6.5x47 or 260. Knowing it wouldn't be ideal for Fclass but pretty good. Jack of all trades, master of none. I've tried for years to have that "one gun" Most all of us have. My real advice is to get a good stock, action, and 6mm chambering and have a good Fclass gun. Then get a good stock, action and 7mm chambering and have a good hunting gun. Hard to blend a top shelf fclass and hunting rig. IMHO [/QUOTE]
