homebrewerIs it by chance known by any other name? When was it designed? Who designed it?

Mike RayI don't have any other info except rcbs makes dies for it and I'm looking at a rifle with this on the barrel.

homebrewerIf RCBS makes dies for it, they are the best source for loading info. At least, that's what I'd have to think.

Mike Raygot some info it's a 6-284 trimmed to 2.13 with a weatherby shoulder, sounds like something to steer away from.

Idaho SharpshooterRalph Payne designed it right after Winchester brought it out.
A 6-284 is about a 6mm-06 for velocity, if the bore is good I'd go ahead and try it out.

I agree: Stay away from this one. My concern is where to get brass once you've worn out the ones you have. You may have to form it yourself. That double radius on Webby cases, to me, could present problems. I'd either do more research or pass it by...
Is this it?

Idaho SharpshooterHB,
with 6.5-284 brass readily available, I would have to give it a try. Good old Imperial Sizing Die Wax those cases and ease them thru the FL die.
The Handloaders Manual of Cartridge Conversions shows it on Page 419. 100gr bullets over 3300fps. With 6.5 brass you only have to neck it down twenty-thousandths.
200 cases is a lifetime supply.

At least the shutout is over.

Old age is a high price to pay for maturity!!! Some never pay and some pay and never reap the reward. Wisdom comes with age! Sometimes age comes alone..
