[QUOTE="sable tireur, post: 1638816, member: 27307"] There is no commercial ammunition made for the 6mm-284 as it is still a true wildcat. The original case was the .284 Winchester which was chambered in the Winchester Model 100 autoloader and the Model 88 lever rifle. Ostensibly this was a short action 7mm cartridge. Now though, many are far more familiar with the 6.5-284 Norma which has been used for a number of years on the benchrest circuit. The 6mm-284 simply necks down the existing 6.5 brass in an attempt to increase the velocities available by running smaller, lighter bullets. It makes for a superior varmint and target cartridge but is only limited by the need to be reloaded. [/QUOTE]
