[QUOTE="Sockeye66, post: 2432718, member: 113619"] Common advice is to go LA for the 6.5x284, that said I am really close to testing my newly built Savage SA 6.5x284, in a week or two I'll be able to tell you how it went. I went with a Xcaliber barrel from Crown Ridge barrels, it's a 25" #4 contour with CRB's lightweight brake. My idea is to shoot the Speer Gold Dot 140gr bullets at 2.98 OAL and I'm hoping for something north of 2900fps with RL23. I went with the 6.5x284 mainly because I have all the dies/brass already. With a Leupold vx2 3-9x40 cds the rifle weighs 8 3/4 pounds after bedding the barrel and recoil lug, not light but not to heavy either. [/QUOTE]
