[QUOTE="Jamie6.5, post: 321284, member: 16954"] My thought is to stay with the 6.5 bullet to keep the B.C. up at 140gr. But I couldn't see using the .284 case or the 06 case due to the short barrel life. My solution to this was the .260AAR AKA the 6.5x257 Roberts Ackley Improved. Close on the heels speed wise to the 6.5-06 or 6.5X.284 and way more barrel life. I knew building a light recoiling long range gun was going to result in lotsa range time, just because it's so much fun. I didn't want to worry about using up a barrel prematurely. My next project will be the .280AI though. I don't see how a person can do wrong with any of these cartridges, given their budget for barrels and 'smith expenditures. [/QUOTE]
