[QUOTE="Litehiker, post: 1267050, member: 54178"] For a 6.5 mm bullet I like the 6.5/284. It's all the speed you will EVER need for either hunting or long range competition. Yeah, it's a barrel burner but so are all fast, flat shooting cartridges. Weatherby cartridges are mostly barrel burners but for a hunting rifle you will not get near 1,000 rounds downrange. I have read of some 6.5/284 AI wildcats but at some point speed is obtained at waaay too much recoil for way too little increase in velocity. Eric B. [/QUOTE]
