[QUOTE="MOJO67, post: 1055308, member: 68532"] Well, a few of things actually. First, if you want to shoot a 6-284 you have to build or buy a custom. ($$$) You can buy a 240 Roy chambered in a multitude of rifles from Weatherby. Cheapest being a plain old Vanguard for around $550 that's guaranteed to shoot sub moa. Second. If you're a hunter, you want feeding reliability. Have read many reports of 6-284 shooters having feeding issues. Not saying all, but many. As for 3400fps with 105's. Yes it's possible with a 6-284, but you're load is bursting at the seams and or your barrel is a min of 26 in, but most likely 28-30. No free lunch. The 240 Roy has a skosh less powder capacity, but not much less than the 6-284, so apples to apples, the 240 Roy will hang right in there with a 6-284. [/QUOTE]
