Thread: 6.5-284 short action

The plain jane 6.5-284 is just so simple though....beautiful lapua brass out of the box with no fireforming. The 260AI seems like a freakn efficient round though, my 6.5x55 is pushing hard to get 2970fps with 123gr Amax's in my blaser!

Yea a lot to be said for load it and shoot.

I just wish you could still buy blaser R93 6.5-284 barrels

Poke a reamer up a 260 one.

Yea i have a Blaser standard .260 22" S/S done by Dan Hardy that I may be tempted to sell as I have a .260AI as well for the Blaser R93.

260Rem all day long. Lapua brass, short action and in a Sako.
Well, enough said.

That also is quite a convincing argument.

I didn't say anything that you didn't already know.
SA Sako all day long.

VC, you say you have 75mm to spare in the mag box on that Sako 75. Before I pulled that barrel I had a rough measure up, these are all touching the lands;
130 VLD Hunting = 76.1mm
129gr SST = 75mm
123gr Amax = 74.1mm
If you go with 260 Rem then this bit of info might help.
