[QUOTE="James Jones, post: 175139, member: 8843"] the 30-06 has a wee bit more capacity you can get some awsome brass from Lapua and its almost never "out of stock" here in the US where the 6.5-284 is quite often. the 6.5-06 will feed better from the mag box with less fuss. but the 6.5-284 chambered in a long action will allow you to seat the bullets out as far as you want with no trouble feeding from the mag the 6.5-284 has a wining reputation with alot of differant shooting sports Ballisticaly an animal will never tell the differance and more than likely neither will you , the accuray nitch for the heavy 6.5 bullets seems to be in the 2800-3000fps range thats done very easly with the 06 case where you may be pushing the 284 a little bit more to get to 3000fps either way you will likely be rnning them at very close to the same speeds so again their is no real ballisitic advantage if you ever plan to sell the gun the 6.5-284 will probably get you a sell faster than the less common 6.5-06 [/QUOTE]
