[QUOTE="Jamie6.5, post: 316735, member: 16954"] I have the next closest thing. It is the 6.5X.257 Roberts Ackley. It has also been referred to as the .260AAR. (all around rifle) Both the 6mm Rem and the .257 are based on the 57mm Mauser case. It's a sweet shooter. It won't quite keep up with the 6.5x.284, but it doesn't burn barrels as quickly either. I can still push a 140Amax ~3000fps. My dies had to come from Graf&sons and they were Redding in the "custom" price range. $130US. One point about the .257 Roberts case, is it is available from Winchester in the +P form. Supposedly with a thicker web/head area, and they seem to last, but then again all Ackley'ed cases seem too. Good luck with yours! [/QUOTE]
