6.5-284 LA SENDERO - 24hourcampfire

WHEN is remington going to make a long action 6.5-284 sendero??

Right after they make one in .264 Win Mag I'd think.

I think they make one in 264 win mag don't they?

Since I do not believe this is a FACTORY loaded round in the US with SAMMI specs..

About the time Hell freezes over.

Combos like that are why gun made GUNSMITHS

Yes they do.

It is a SAAMI spec cartridge and is factory loaded by Nosler.

Savage makes a couple of rifles chambered in this cartridge.

Others may as well.

I knew about the Savage F Class rifles

But, just because Nolser loads for it, does not mean it is a SAAMI spec round,IMHO.

Do a search and you'll see that it is in fact a SAAMI spec round.

Will Do..

Hornady has brass, too. No factory ammo yet.

And here's your .264 Sendero listing.

Why wait for Remington? If you want a 6.5-284, there's a bunch of gunsmiths out there who could bolt one together for you real quick and easy, and the custom route would get you a better barrel anyway.

Agree, it would be a nice rifle...

GUYM- I have two. one has a mcmlln a-3; single shot ;krieger barrel heavy 28 inch . the other is a repeater built off of a sendero 25-06. kreiger barrel. both have shilen triggers (i prefer over jewel). they both shoot pretty good the heavy one wins the f class matches in mesa regularly. thanks. roninflag

Yep, since they don't, have one built, you'll be WAY happier in the long run anyway....

Where have you seen SAAMI spec for the 6.5x284?

I talked to Nosler a year ago when they started offering factory ammo about the pressures and specs`, and was told the tech that answered the phone didn`t have the numbers avialable at the moment but was sure they were CIP standard.
Norma has sponsored it in Europe but I don`t believe anyone has picked it up here and pressed SAAMI for admitance yet.

IIRC, I read in Cartridges of the World that CIP and SAAMI have reciprical (for lack of a better word) agreement, so if it's approved by CIP it is as well for SAAMI.

I've seen dozens of references to the effect of the 6.5x284 being a SAAMI spec cartridge but I have never seen the actual SAAMI specs because I don't have access to the entire SAAMI website.
You may very well be correct and I'll try to make some calls tomorrow and get a definitive answer from someone.
