[QUOTE="CaptnC, post: 1335912, member: 101755"] Getting ready to hang a barrel on a Savage LA and struggling with the caliber. Plus I have the 6.5mm bug...can't seem to get rid of it. I want the bolt face to stay the same, donor action originally had a 270 barrel on it. I already have a 6.5-06 built on a Colombian mauser action which shoots great. I built it for my Colombian wife. I thought it was a cool idea seeing how they both came from Colombia. Anyway, I already have the dies 6.5-06 and even though head stamped brass is hard to come by. It is very simple to make brass for it. Is it worth the cost of buying new dies for a 6.5x284 and buying new brass? Will the velocity gain be enough to add a new caliber to the herd? I want to get the most bang for my buck, but don't want to buy a bunch of new accessories if I don't need too. My next project is to rebarrel my 300wsm to 6.5wsm so I already have plans to make a 6.5mm bullet really zip along. Thoughts? [/QUOTE]
