[QUOTE="105amatt, post: 1434428, member: 58440"] For a 6.5, 6.5x284 gets my vote. Excellent cartridge. Excellent brass available right off the shelf. Proven accuracy by shooters all over. Great velocity without burning magnum quantities of powder. People talk about what a barrel burner it is. Maybe if your shooting f-class hammering your barrel ten shots at a time, but in a hunting rifle, no. When i had mine years ago, it was a honest 3/8 moa rifle with Hornady 140s. Sure, there may be a newer cartridge that is suppose to be accurate and pushes bullets faster. But, your going to spend double on dies and brass (that's not even lapua). [/QUOTE]
