[QUOTE="Coloradomuley, post: 2011796, member: 105830"] Hey guys looking at building a 6.5 284 for my son on a rem 700 LA I had laying around. I have never messed with the 284 case so I have a few questions. 1. I am looking for reamers to run 140-156 Berger’s efficiently and with that where does that put the COAL on the cartridge with this bullets seated properly in the neck. 2. Feeding? I have heard these cases do not feed well in a BDL set up so is the 3.1” offered in say the HS precision DBM system the way to go? 3. barrel length? What’s the right balance on this cartridge? 22”-24” was my thought and possibly a brake for the young guns so they aren’t afraid of the recoil. Is 22” enough to run a 140 Berger 2900 FPS? Or is 24” the better fit. Thanks guys hope to have this thing rolling soon [/QUOTE]
