[QUOTE="Deleted member 25294, post: 1166398"] I just went through the same dilemma with wanting to re chamber a tikka to 6.5x284. I really couldn't get any good answers or find data on velocity in a 22.5 inch barrel so I went with a savage 116 with a 24 inch barrel. I will tell you that with 57.5 grains of Retumbo the velocity is 2925, Berger lists a max load of 58 grains but I haven't tried pushing it further since I'm happy with that velocity. I won't lie though I wish I had the Tikka, the savage weighs over 7 lbs stripped. I say give the tikka a try in 6.5x284 you will definitely out perform the 260. Oh and please post your results if you go that route! [/QUOTE]
