[QUOTE="Greyfox, post: 2589920, member: 10291"] Given you will be hand-loading and planning a medium action, the 6.5x284 Norma, while not the only choice, is an easy choice. No messing around with case prep, readily available/superb Lapua brass, easy to develop very accurate reloads, and velocities in the 2950-3025FPS, the sweet spot with the 156’s and 140’s(respectively). Barrel life with most all the 6.5’s at these velocities is probably a push between most of the candidates that deliver this performance, and more dependent on individual shooting practices. IMO.
