[QUOTE="Alberta Boy, post: 2589894, member: 108585"] As HuntnPack mentioned the 6.5x284 is a pretty incredible package. 140gr VLD Hunters over Retumbo with Lapua Brass has been an excellent choice in Alberta for me. I’ve killed multiple moose, big Alberta Whitetail bucks and a bunch of bears all with one shot success. The one draw back is perhaps the barrel life of the 6.5x284, I only have 750 rounds through mine and it still shoots incredibly well but I’ve heard that they don’t go much past 1200 rounds before being shot out. I would consider component availability first and foremost right now, in Canada we had primers and powder available until late spring but we are now suffering the same issues that you are south of the border. Can’t shoot what you can’t find components for… [/QUOTE]
