[QUOTE="Wachsmann, post: 1503126, member: 10429"] From my experience with the 6.5X284 with the 24 inch barrel was always a little hard trying to dial it in at the 2950ish mark. It shot best at 2880. Maybe mine was slow but it also showed pressure earlier then normal as well. Barrel life was good up to about 4300 rounds. I can still give it a really hard cleaning and get 1/2 MOA but it opens up pretty fast now instead of what it uses to do. I could go 50 rounds or more before cleaning without accuracy suffering . Now I'm looking at the LA Sherman. I figure I could get over 3000 with it pretty easy and settle in with a good solid load either in the 140 Berger or the 143 ELDX. Also I was looking the new 150 from Sierra. Maybe even a 160. I do like the 6.5X284 a lot though. It was easy to load for and so easy to shoot. [/QUOTE]
