[QUOTE="elkaholic, post: 1460883, member: 13833"] There are a lot of unknowns here. The 3 cartridges that you mentioned would all be viable chices. The 6.5/284 would be the top performer of the 3 velocity wise, but would be harder on barrels. The Creed might be the best choice if factory ammo was a high priority for inexpensive shooting. Then there is how much do you want to spend for performance. It appears that you are interested in a short action. If your budget allows, one of the Sherman Shortmags in 6.5 would easily outperform any that you've mentioned. There is top quality brass now available, as well as custom dies, etc. The downside is no factory ammo at this point, and more costly custom components. You can check the Sherman Shortmags out at shermanwildcatcartridges.com . Good luck with your build and let me know if I can help....rich [/QUOTE]
