[QUOTE="James Jones, post: 178388, member: 8843"] I shoot a 260 and out of a 27" Lilja 3 groove 1-8 twist I can get over 2800fps with 140gr bullets now accuracy is best just under 2800fps with the 140gr Bergers and just over with the 140 A-max. The 130 Berger would be a good option in your gun as your only intending to shoot to 600yds the added speed will help and the BC is still very high. I don't think that you will be gaining much at all going with a barrel over 26" maybe 20-30fps per inch if that and the shorter barrel wil be alot stiffer. I don't think that the 6.5-284 has enough to offer to be worth the hassel of finding brass and the cost of it , the shorter barrel life and generaly speeking the match bullet typicaly don't like to be pushed hard. With the 260 you can have the chamber cut t "match" specs and use Lapua 308 brass necked down , in my gun I had to turn the necks just enought to get them 100% cleaned up and that makes the loaded round only .0015 under the chamber neck which helps alot in the accuracy and brass life. the 308 Lapua brass is cheap , easy to find and the most accurate and strongest out their. If your looking for a drop in stock Stockade gun stock makes some nice ones and I think finished they run around $300 , one of Joel Russo's A5-L laminates will run just over that with the recoil pan installed but you have to finish it. Choate makes a stock called the "ultimate Varminter" and though big heavy , not realy confortable it is very solid and capible of supporting fine accuracy and theu are under $150 ready to shoot. I would recomend that you have the barrel setup like the Rem is with the shoulder it'll cost more but worth it [/QUOTE]
