PAULT Posted October 10, 2009 Report Share Posted October 10, 2009 could i neck down a 6.5x284 case to take a 224 head and would i be able to get a 80 grain bullet doing 4000ft per sec just a thought hope this makes sense Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moses Posted October 10, 2009 Report Share Posted October 10, 2009 Just curious but, if you could what will you fire it through? A hot 25cal will push an 85grain pill at about 3700 fps, have a look at a .257 weatherby mag. Atb Moses Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vince Green Posted October 11, 2009 Report Share Posted October 11, 2009 (edited) You will never know unless you try. Problem is you would be on your own working up a loads and you would have to be using the latest high performance powders at the very limit. Do you have the knowledge and ability to develop loads like that? Edited October 11, 2009 by Vince Green Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

henry d Posted October 11, 2009 Report Share Posted October 11, 2009 Another thought would be to do with throat wear, as 6.5-284 is known to wear them out quickly, so a faster 224 bullet may increase this too ! You will need a good name too, such as the "Triple deuce 284 Taff" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

casts_by_fly Posted October 12, 2009 Report Share Posted October 12, 2009 Doesn't look like you'll hit 4K with 80's http://www.snipershide.com/forum/ubbthread...;Number=1050406 There is a guy on Saubier that built a 22-06. Don't know what ballistics, but could be worth a search for you. Thanks Rick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
