[QUOTE="Shooter264, post: 515588, member: 23746"] A 6-284 is way better suited for a long action, but building them on a short action can be done. Trevor with CPG build me one and it shot fantastic. I would lean towards a 243AI as they are much better suited for a SA. Trevor has a great reamer for one, every one I have been around that he has build has shot in the high 2's to low 3's if the shooter can do his part. I am shooting the 105 right at 3270 out of a 26.75" tube and most of the 6-284's he builds only shoot 3280-3350. You are giving up quite a bit of barrel life with the 284. As far as fireforming goes, Trevor can build you a hydro form die out of your resize die to where you never have to fireform at all. When you form the cases they come out about .005" over a fired case, so then you just run them through your resize die and bump them back to .001ish" smaller than a fired case and you are good to go!!. Here is how my last Trevor 243 AI shoots. Would be worth a trip down the street I would guess. [IMG]http://i884.photobucket.com/albums/ac49/lnielsen/243ACK.jpg[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
