Tony,
Very nice rifle. Could I PM you about your load development process for the 6.5-284? I might be going through the same thing here in a week or so.

Wouldn't plan a lot of dumps with that 10 rounder in 6.5x284.
About 1k rounds with a top feeder was the best i could do for a barrel.
 
Re: My new 6.5 X 284 build>>>>>>>6.5-284

I always had my eye on that caliber. Just never could justify it though.

Nice build.

Ohh...and if you play your cards right with a set back (Throat) you can get closer to 1500-2000 out of one. Its the first .300 of the barrel that takes all the abuse.
