Yes i have one, and they are the best cartridge for so many things. Cheap to reload,no recoil.and very accurate. Shot many deer and other goodies with mine. Mine has a 24" barrel. on a Mauser action. need more info just ask vangunsmith

I assume you read Ralph Lermayer's article in the new issue of the Complete Rifleman. If not you should check it out....

Nope have not read it ..always thought of it as a long range target round not a hunting round but can't see why it could not be used for this purpose.

Who'd want one? :eek:

I had one for a while when I was shooting steel silhouettes. Mine had a 26 inch barrel. I made mine from a 700 Remington. Its an excellent hunting round as are all the rifles that shoot the 6.5 caliber bullet.

I shot a benchrest one. Had 30" barrel 1" OD barrel Shilen, with 700 action. Not much to say, made one hole at 200 yards. Whats expected out of a benchrest gun.

Seems to be the hot cartridge in 1000 yard shooting. I was going to have one built myself. But kept hanging around the 1000yardshoots and saw that it would take much more time and stuff than I was wanting to invest.

I'm thinking of getting a barrel chambered in 6.5-.284 for my new Encore pistol. I think anybody who doesn't shoot a 6.5mm round is missing the boat.

Apparently someone,whom doesn,t know anything about them i guess. I gather you don,t have one, what a pitty you haven,t had the pleasure of shooting one,at paper or game. Its really a shame,i,m sure all your weapons are of the finest grade and calibers. vangunsmith

Is your rifle built on a long or short action?
