[QUOTE="Riflehunter1776, post: 1434753, member: 103369"] as far as I can see the sherman is a slightly modified AI that moves about 100 fps faster. so with 120's and 130's, the 6.5-06 is 100 fps faster than the 6.5-284 ........ the 6.5 -06 AI is 100 fps faster than the standard 06 ....... and (still without seeing any data, bit just reading people's comments) the sherman is 100 faster than the AI? so if the sherman is about 300 fps faster than the 6.5-284, that is significant enough to look into. And in addition to velocity, accuracy expectations are still very important to me, so going by the law of averages, is the 6.5-284 going to be intrinsically more accurate than the Sherman, or are people seeing comparable 3 shot group sizes out of similar rifles? My gunsmith was convinced the x284 was going to be the most accurate of all LA non-magnum 6.5's. Out of curiosity, for those who shoot them, what kind of bullet drop are people seeing at 500 yards with a 130 gr at normal (???) Sherman velocities? [/QUOTE]
