[QUOTE="Greyfox, post: 1291612, member: 10291"] With a 2.99" magazine you may be able to get away with 140VLD's at +2950FPS out of your rifle. Will depend in your rifles throating. My most recent 6.5x284, LA build is throated to give me a COAL using 140VLD Hunting Bergers to the lands at 2.960". With my accuracy load, the VLD is seated .020" off the lands giving a COAL of 2.940". With this load using 58gr of Retumbo/Fed 210M primers is get 3000FPS out of my 26" barrel. My 24" rifle handles this load with a complete burn and gives the same velocity as my 26" tube. Given the throating of your chamber isn't overly long, you should be able to make it work. The issue with many SA rifles causing issues with the 6.5x284 COAL is that the magazine lengths are around 2.8" .....too short. Your 2.99" should be OK. [/QUOTE]
