[QUOTE="cetacea, post: 1755030, member: 10943"] I'm 78 & don't hunt anymore, but still enjoy a few days shooting prairie dogs. Have used a 6mm/284W for years. After rebarreling with a Lilja 30" barrel, my best accuracy improvement was neck turning the cases. Using a 2-step process (.284 to 6.5 to 6mm) neck thickness swelled to .022/.024 after necking down. Had some bolt sticking problems and so so 3/4"accuracy. Turned necks to .014 and my 1st 4 shot group was .21" at 100 yds, using older reloads. Load is 54.1 gr R22, Hornady 87 gr Amax, CCI mag Primers. I use all Sinclair & RCBS tools. Recoil is a problem for me, so have mostly retired the 6/284 and enjoy a .204R & .220 Swift. [/QUOTE]
