Which 6.5x284 chamber

[fatjake]

Little confused here guys.
Which chamber do I want? I plan on shooting 140grn bullets so I'm having it built on a long action but these chambers have me all sorts of confused

6.5x284 win
6.5x284 Norma
6.5x284 lapua.

What is the difference and what chamber do I want ?

They're all the same. 6.5x284 win. Is usually chambered in a short action. You want the Norma in a long action, so you can seat the 140's out there a bit. As for the Lapua... Thats the brand of brass you want.

+1 on the 6.5-284 Norma. Chamber should give a COAL of approx 3.18" to the lands with a 140 Berger VLD in Lapua brass.

I did the 6.5x284 Norma (3.228") and far as I know Nosler and Berger have loading data for the Norma, other be for the short action OAL 2.800". + on the Lapua brass.
