[QUOTE="rscott5028, post: 545452, member: 24624"] 6.5x284 is a different animal from the 260 rem. It will push the heavier bullets faster and maximize their effectiveness over slightly longer ranges. As Wildrose states, the 260 Rem is a better balance for barrel life, recoil, etc... and with the medium bullets, it'll perform equally well, or arguably better out to some distance depending on circumstances. Both are great cartridges. I prefer the 140's for my 6.5x284's. I don't currently have a 260. But, I like Wildrose's approach and may have to try it some day. JMO -- richard [/QUOTE]
