[QUOTE="6.5shaggy, post: 539697, member: 13311"] I have a 6.5-284 with 140s and a 284 for the 168s and 180s, and agree with WILDROSE 100% on all points[B]. [/B]It's just opinion but I dislike the magnum cases. My 25 inch 284 will push 180 vlds at 2950fps on 51.5gr powder, why burn 20gr more for 150 fps. The 6.5 does 2970 with 140s and is much more fun to shoot and I can spot hits without a muzzel break; but the 180 vld from the 284 has a LOT more pop past 600 yards. [/QUOTE]
