[QUOTE="Prieto9000, post: 1349555, member: 24952"] I have 2 6.5 cm being fed from a dbm and both work great. One is a tikka T3 wearing a 18.5” melonited benchmark being fed from a CTR magazine @2.208” BTOL using 143 eld-x’s. I use hornady brass and load it with 42gr of RL-17 and CCI200 primer @2737fps. The chamber allows a max BTOL of 2.246” so it’s a 0.038” jump. The other one is a Tac 30 wearing a 26” Bartlein being fed from an AICS 10rd mag @2.189” BTOL using 140 hybrids @3000 FPS. Nosler brass charged with 43gr of RL-17 and a CCI 200 primer. The chamber allows a max BTOL of 2.420” so it’s a .069” jump. I seriously doubt you can get better performance from a 6.5-284, 6.5x55 or any other without giving up a ton of barrel life, a greater powder expense (let’s say at least 25%) and having to feed from a long action.
