[QUOTE="toddc, post: 1270443, member: 4566"] That is a question best asked of the smith who is counseling you to build it and should be backed up with MATH showing HOW you will reach the lands using his reamer for your specific build. That may be another reason the smith is telling you to go 284 as his 280AI reamer may have a throat longer than can be reached in the mag. The 284 is hardly a FAD as it has been around a long time and now that the 6.5 is as popular as it is, isn't going anywhere. Lots of brass out there and most of it is very high quality. A few things though. The 280AI will outrun the 284 by a little, say 100FPS with a 180 with the same barrel, maybe more maybe less. 280 brass is going nowhere as well. And it can be formed from gazillions of 06 based cases. Accuracy? In theory the 284 gets the nod, look to F-class for this, no one is running the 280 AI in large numbers in ANY target discipline. However 99% of us will never be able to tell the difference. PERSONALLY I would go 284 BUT I have built a slug of them and am very familiar with them. This is truly a case of 6 one way...half dozen the other. You will probably never be able to tell the difference either way and neither will any animal or target you smack with it. [/QUOTE]
