[QUOTE="ohnomrbillk, post: 1250575, member: 2985"] I run a 6.5x55 BJAI. I'm running a 30" barrel and can get to 3000fps with a 142gr easy using H4831HC. I like it better for its longer neck. It is just slightly less capacity than a 6.5x284. Of your initial suggestions, 6.5-06 Ackley will feed easy in a 270 action. I run 40 degree shoulders from 17 to 338 caliber. Several on Savage actions. It will work great. Kirby is a 6.5-06 Ackley advocate. He set his up to take virgin 25-06 brass, prime, add powder, seat boat tail 6.5 bullet as the neck expander, and enjoy sob moa accuracy fire form loads. Trying to get your velocity target with a 26" barrel in a 270 based action. I'd use an -06 based case. Ackley or Sherman will serve you well. [/QUOTE]
