[QUOTE="LeddSlinger, post: 813301, member: 65338"] I personally dealt with the same dilemma years ago when wanting to build a 6.5mm hunting rifle. Ended up building a 6.5mm Remington Magnum on a long action. It is much faster than the 6.5-284 or 6.5-06 if you want to push it, and has a shorter case length than both so that VLD bullet seating is not an issue when wanting to feed from a magazine. I have killed 13 animals to date with the 6.5 RM using 140gr Berger VLD's. Can't think of a better deer rifle. [/QUOTE]
