[QUOTE="DJ Fergus, post: 1917545, member: 93895"] I have a good friend with a 6mm-06. I contemplated a 6mm-284. I have a 25-06, 6.5 creedmoors and various larger calibers. I rolled all these ideas around in my head and I came up with this: I could build a 22 caliber to run bullets that matched the highest b.c. of the 6mm bullets and run them just about as fast in a creedmoor capacity case as I could run bullets of the same b.c. 6mm bullets in an 06 or 284 case with less recoil. I went with a 22 creedmoor. Now granted, I don't have as much ft/lbs energy but wind tradjectory and bullet drop are near identical. All this being said, I would still love to have a 6mm-284. It's just a little farther down the list of my wants than it used to be. [/QUOTE]
