    To be really different how about 6.5-06 AI - now you'd be getting close to 264 Mag. And since we've now mentioned it - do it, the 264, go the whole hog, no one will have bragging rights over you and you are bound to find a mug who wants to quit his 7mm Mag brass cause it hurts at both ends.
    6.5-06 out performs a 6.5-284. Identical ballistically they are not.
    I had one for ages before I ever seen it mentioned on any forum.
    Would have another in a heartbeat. Would AI it most likely.
    Run a 260 improved now that gets up around 3k with 140's and slightly over with 125-130's
    In a 23" barrel.
