[QUOTE="sable tireur, post: 1277662, member: 27307"] roadglide, The M695 Hunter '06 magazine is a standard 3.340" in length to handle all the standard long action cartridges. It is not long enough to handle the .300 RUM or .300 H&H length cartridges at 3.600" long. But this will not stop you from having any of the long action cartridges such as the 6.5-06 loaded with hunting style bullets. You could manage the 6.5-284 with modifications to the detachable magazine box, feed lips and follower but I don't see this as being functional in the action and stock because of the 0.500" diameter of the cartridge head. But it shouldn't matter anyway because the difference in velocity will be [B]negligible[/B] even with the bullets seated out further. I've been shooting the 6.5-06 and the Ackley version for years with great success so I see no reason to fight the battle of modifications for a .284 based version. Regards. [/QUOTE]
