Thread: new project. what to do.........

Eehee - you've been under the influence of your own advice . . .

6.5-06 and 6.5-284 are ballistically identical no matter what some people say, the case capacities are the same. So that brings you to the action length, may as well work to that parameter. Now that you are past that, an AI of either of the smaller 6.5s will give much the same result too.

To be really different how about 6.5-06 AI - now you'd be getting close to 264 Mag. And since we've now mentioned it - do it, the 264, go the whole hog, no one will have bragging rights over you and you are bound to find a mug who wants to quit his 7mm Mag brass cause it hurts at both ends.

if I neck down a 50bmg case.........................
I think the 6.5x55ai mite give me enough poke and its an easy fix. 120gmx at 3k will be enough surely?????

6.5-06 out performs a 6.5-284. Identical ballistically they are not.
I had one for ages before I ever seen it mentioned on any forum.
Would have another in a heartbeat. Would AI it most likely.
Run a 260 improved now that gets up around 3k with 140's and slightly over with 125-130's
In a 23" barrel.
