[QUOTE="Weezer, post: 497897, member: 24985"] I chambered a 6.5xRoberts AI or a 6.5x57AI and it can be ran from mild to to pretty strong. 120's @ 3300, have pushed 140 Bergers @ 3000. For bug holes 130s @ 27 to 2800. Down side forming cases. I neck size and bump the shoulders back on a 6.5x284 die. The cases seem to hold up pretty good if I anneal them after 5 or 6 firings. I have heard this called 6.5 all around rifle and a few other names but Paul Mauser invented it 90 years or so ago. I don't know if he tried the 40 degree shoulder on it. Google 6.5 Roberts Improved and it should bring you up some more info if you want to. This is just another option that incompasses several of the rifles before going to the 6.5x284. Hope this helps a little. Good luck with what ever choice you make. Joe [/QUOTE]
