[QUOTE="Coyote Shadow Tracker, post: 2572386, member: 116439"] 6.5X284 - This is mostly a cartridge for the hand loader and custom build. Build it with a LA and you can load some heavy long bullets. We have designed a tight Reamer from JGS along with a PTG Throater for any changes (original cut for SMK 142gr). Have several Krieger 1:8 barrels straight 1.25" up to 32", BAT Action Single Shot Dual Port, McMillan XIT, NF Atacr & Razor HD Gen III, Bix Andy Triggers. Originally making for "F" Class and the range close to us suspended "F" class matches for 2022 so not in a rush to build. Have several thousand bullets, Lapua Brass, Primers, and a variety of Powder. Should start building soon? Just need to put the barrels in the lathe and start turning. Should be a shooter. I think that it is a really nice caliber. The 6.5-06 was and still is popular in "F" class and hunters are looking at the 6.5 PRC that has similar ballistics. The PRC just has problems getting components. For hunting we really like the .260 for shooting the 6.5mm. You want a little more OMMPH for Elk at longer range get the 6.5X284. [/QUOTE]
