[QUOTE="barthmonster, post: 447083, member: 28656"] Hodgdon shows a 6.5-284 load (140gr) being compressed at 53.5 gr... also a 270 Win load (150 gr) being compressed at 59.5 gr... the 6.5-284 (140) shows a high of 2900 fps (100 V), but the data didn't immediately list barrel-length that I saw on the website... the 270 win (150) shows a high of 2850 fps, I assume the same barrel-length as above... Granted these are from the book, but I think they're pretty close except the .264 bullets have a little higher ballistic-coefficient. Now I've always heard that a short-action cartridge is more accurate than a long-action cartridge, but many 6.5-284 shooters changed to a long-action to accomodate the VLD's and increase powder capacity also... The 270 has always had a reputation for accuracy especially with 4831(SC) which is also a popular 6.5-284 propellant. I don't know what a person would gain trying a 270 at long-range and he may not win in competition... Then again until someone tries it who knows... [/QUOTE]
