[QUOTE="Garycrow, post: 1097882, member: 30743"] None other than it's a wildcat. Yea, I know A-square kind of quasi made it a factory round but it's essentially a wildcat. That's fine but personally I'd rather go with a factory cartridge than form brass. The 6.5x284 Norma is a CIP standardized round with excellent brass available from several sources, and excellent dies available. Plus it has a proven track record in long range shooting with reams of load data available. It would be a lot easier than screwing around with a 6.5x06. Tell the gunsmith you want a 6.5x284 Norma, some Lapua brass and Forster dies & you're done. No screwing around forming brass.
