Thanks for the education. So this is the 6.5-284 Hornaday wildcat round. Do you have the dies for reloading it?

Not really a "wildcat" round anymore.  Once you can buy factory ammo for a cartridge it looses the wildcat classification in my book.   Lots of brass for it too.   I shoot the Nosler brass and it does really good.    This cartridge is basically has the capacity of a 30-06 but shoots a higher BC bullet than the 30 calibers for the same weight.   Think of it as a much faster 6.5 creedmore.   

My 6.5 X 284 drives tacks with a 143 grain Hornady ELD-X bullet going 2910 FPS.
