[QUOTE="CaptnC, post: 1363585, member: 101755"] Yeah...the 6.5-284 keeps creeping into my thought process as well. EA Brown has Accuracy pre-fit barrels for Savage actions in that caliber...brass is more expensive as is the dies. I have 25-06, 270 and plan to again have another 280 so I use 30-06 brass to make my 6.5-06 brass. That way I don't have to worry about someone grabbing the wrong ammo...don't own or plan to own the 30-06...so that's why it's my choice. Plus it easy to come by at the range...I pick up a bunch every time I go. I just ask the shooter if he reloads, many don't...so it's free! I'm getting over 3100FPS with H4350 using 130gr Sierra HPBT's .5MOA @ 100yds...which nearly matches my 264wm with the same bullets. But I must confess I have just put the 264 together just before the deer season started so I loaded some ammo that shot decent and went with it. [/QUOTE]
