[QUOTE="AZShooter, post: 1913604, member: 5219"] Probably the first thing to do is try a 6mm-284 round to see how it feeds. Have had several 6mm-284s on SAs. Using your LA even a 115 gr bullet seated with boat tail transition even with shoulder you will have lots of room in the magazine. As to efficiency who cares? Barrel life will be right at 1000 rounds but with a 105's velocity close to 3500 from a 26" barrel. It will perform. Be sure to have a reamer with specs for you requirements. Get at least a 8 twist or if you intend to use any 115s a 7.5 twist. I use 6.5-284 Lapua brass necked down. Fed 210. The necks are turned. Currently using RL-33 with 105 Berger for velocity of 3465 from a 26" barrel. At my usual deer hunting elevation of 4250 ft the wind drift in 10 mph crosswind at 500 yds is 8.3" with retained velocity of 2808 fps and 1838 ft/lb of energy. Certain a 6mm-06 owner will add to this discussion. [/QUOTE]
