I'm with Guffey--give the nod to 8mm 06 if that's an option.
I have had a 6.5 284 for years--while it's a good shooter I've often considered it a "freak of marketing nature" which IMO doesn't bring a whole lot extra to the table (if anything) over it's parent 284win, which I prefer.Manbun sell out... Lol
I'll put an icepick through the coconuts befor i manbun...
I had thought of the 6.5-284, but i would probably want at least a 24" barrel for that. All about velocity. I want to keep it a thin barrel no longer than 22".
Just about to start the teardown...
Similar to the 22 Texas Trophy Hunter I mentioned earlier, except the neck is larger and thicker to allow use of 22LR adapters. There are a couple of configurations of the 22-6mm.How about a nice 5.6x57? Exact RWS specs seem tough so just make it a .22x2.25"
Not reliably, it's too short so most builds include a block at the rear of the magazine.Will a .22-250 feed from an unaltered Mauser magazine?
6.5X57 will give you essentially the same velocities without the barrel wear.I had thought of the 6.5-284,
