    Yes you are bang on there I have just done that. I had a 6.5/284 with a 20" barrel and it was a struggle to get 2800fps with the 130grn in a long action.
    So went down the .260AI path and now I'm getting 2850fps with the same projectile and 10grns less powder although I made it a 22" barrel.
