[QUOTE="BountyHunter, post: 133470, member: 12"] I shot a 6.5-06 AI for four years in comp. It won more than its share, and several good shooters are using them too. Biggest reason people like the 6.5-284 is no fireforming and short vs long case. However, the 6.5-06 is not the barrel burner that the 6.5-284 is. Most competitive 6.5-284s last 700-no more than 1000 rds and still competetive. Think for fclass I would look at the straight 6.5-06 in 8 twist or better yet, the 6-47 in 8 twist. More FPS, good BC bullets, low recoil and seems to be very good barrel life unlike the 6.5-284. BH [/QUOTE]
