[QUOTE="ramrod79, post: 1508438, member: 58107"] So if I’m getting your post right your really looking hard at a LA cartridge you mention 6.5x55 AI or 6mm AI If your looking at wild cat thats got good performance good barrel life in a long action go with 6.5 Sherman easy to form brass,very good barrel life,and launches a 6.5 140 at 3250+. Could run 130 at 33-3400 If your looking for a good overall 6.5 that will equal the 6.5x55AI and the 6mm AI without needing to wildcat why not a 6.5 284 it runs on LA as well, and has good brass,easy to load for,and good performance BUT barrel life is a little shorter but if you don’t hot rod it would get decent life. Before I built my 6.5 284 I looked at the 6.5x55AI and decided no gain with it and the pain of fire forming so went with the 65 284 instead. Then I wanted horse power so went with 6.5 Sherman and never looked back. [/QUOTE]
