The 6.5-284 puzzles me because it has a fairly steep 35 degree shoulder, But maybe the neck is not quite long enough, combined with
the typical high operating pressures, and long strings of fire in competition. Probably not a real problem in a hunting rifle.
Thanks and that’s what I thot per a hunting rifle.
I would only build a rifle for 2 cartridges in the 6.5 family, 6.5X284 ->-> 6.5X06.
The larger 6.5 cases burn too much powder for my taste NOT being a L R target shooter.
I don’t understand why the 264 WM isn’t more popular today — except that it’s NOT new.
Thnx
