    OOOOH - you need to post detailed reports on the 6.5x284 when it happens. That looks like it would be a fun cartridge.
    It is but can be a pain too.

    Expensive factory ammo and cases. Known as barrel burners depending on how you shoot it.

    A couple hundred fps over the other more popular 6.5s.

    I had a Savage LRH in it but the upgrades to make it a good long range gun for me outweighed the gain and I sold it.

    Still popular for long range shooters though.

    I've been wanting to build a custom gun for a while and really like the .264 win mag I already have so I figured I would give it a shot.

    Keeping my goals pretty basic. Get the 4 or so rifles sighted in and dialed that I haven't been able to yet.

    Better optics on the 30 .06, get dies for all my calibers I don't already have dies for, and maybe pick up an 8mm Mauser.

    3 rifles left to sight in, 4 if you count patterning the new shotgun.

    Quality does not matter so much if not bolted down and the thieves have it at their house.
    I just figured that most people who buy small safes don't know to bolt them down.

    Well, new goal for 2017. Buy a 300 blk upper for my AR lower, mount a P-223 Nikon on it, find some decent supersonic ammo and sight it in. Then find lots more decent ammo.

    Try to make more time shooting. Work always seems to interfere. Finish my 375 raptor build. Learn the long range game. I'd like to attend some different types of competitions and see if any interest me.

    As a final goal, and I know this is impossible for some of you, I want to be more of an ambassador and less of an ass on here.

    -Better place to store ammo...right now my wife is pissed that the closet has so many ammo boxes:)
    -G26 to trade off EDC with G43
