[QUOTE="couesaddict, post: 1437276, member: 77536"] You guys bring a valid point. There's a huge following for the 6.5-284 but, at the same time, a lot of people whining about bbl life when used under high rate of fire, competition scenarios. Something like that blown out to minimum taper with a shortened body and longer neck may fill a niche for quite a few. Similar performance with potential for a longer lifespan. I think most fire it out of a long action so it would still give up a fair bit to the original sherman speed wise but could still be a really nice case. Personally I was torn between a 6.5-284 and 6.5-06ai when I stumbled on the Shermans and did a fast twist 270 in that flavor instead. There are a lot of donor actions out there for that kind of case in my opinion. I like the .25 idea too but my 25-06 is now a 270 Sherman so I guess I'm not a quarter bore die hard. [/QUOTE]
