[QUOTE="AZShooter, post: 1564736, member: 5219"] The 284 Win would be my choice. I had read that Melvin said the 284 win was very popular chambering for the model 20 action. IIRC it uses a 3.1" mag box. While looking around on the model 20 I found this post from John Barsness aka Mule Deer from 24 hr campfire: ".284 Winchester, the original cartridge the Model 20 was designed around." entire thread: Nula chambering options: [URL]https://www.24hourcampfire.com/ubbthreads/ubbthreads.php/topics/11814106/nula-chambering-options[/URL] The thread is from 2017. Many were complaining about difficulty in finding brass. While finding Winchester brass IS difficult at times Norma made a run of 284 Win for Bullets.com. That source is closed but the brass is available. Graf's has it currently: [URL]https://www.grafs.com/retail/catalog/product/productId/77895[/URL] Or if you prefer Lapua makes 6.5-284 which can be easily necked up. Regarding performance from the 284 from a 22" barrel: 140s as fast as 3100 fps 150s " " " 3000 fps 168 " " " 2900 fps [/QUOTE]
