[QUOTE="LongBomber, post: 1413566, member: 14435"] I have both, 6.5-284 and a 26. The 26 will push a 127LRX to 3500fps from a 26" barrel which is pretty impressive, and it will do 3300 with a 140 without pushing the brass hard. The 26 is impressive, but is a finicky case to load for. The 6.5-284 is much easier to tune, and still will crack 3K with a 140gr bullet. I also didnt get great accuracy pushing a berger 140 over 3200ish fps, I could get decent groups with low charges but once the speeds went up the accuracy with the vld wasnt there. If I was going to do it again I wouldn't go with a 6.5 in a case bigger than a wsm, I would likely go to the gap4s or 6.5wsm as the velocities will be very close to what the 26 can do. [/QUOTE]
