well after some measurements on the 140's we decided to go with a long action and the 6.5 x 284 to get the ke at 1000 yards . the combo shot be pushing 1400 lbs at 1000 yards with the 140 accubonds . kinda leaned that way since they perform better from 200-400 over the vlds.

I have had two 6.5-284's built in the past and I used a long action on both, excellent cartridge. You will be very pleased.
