6.5 x 284

Its what most of the 1000 yard benchresters are shooting these days. If there was a better cartridge for long range and wind drift they would be using it. Its deadly too!

Bad news is that its a custom build job only. No manufacturer offers it.It still considered a"wildcat" the cartridge has reached "legitamate" status yet. Thoughyou can purchase brass for it headstamped 6.5x284.

My father and myself trueda remington 700 actionordered a douglas airguage match barrel and walla we had a 1/2" long rangehunting rig. My dad used it on his New Zeland trip this summer and dropped a dandy Red Stag, Tar, & other things which I don't know thename of,with it. He swears that everythingshot dropped like they had been lightning struck.

If you don't want togo to the trouble,I would stick with a 25-06 or 264 win mag.
