I don't care to shoot a group much tighter than 1.5 inches, or even that wouldn't be bad. The 6.5x.284 doesn't have as many loads (factory) available, at least from nosler, as the .264. That is my main thing. I'm gonna shoot the 130 gr. accubond for deer/antelope at around 3100, and the 140 gr partition for elk at around 3000. I'll look at that E.R. Shaw barrel too. I think 'll get a Remington Model 700 SPS in the 300 Winchester Magnum, for the looks and the price, then as soon as I get it, take off the 300 mag. barrel, sell it, put in my order for my barrel, send them my action, then I should have it back by deer season this fall if I do all this in the spring. Thanks for the info.
