Is the 6.5 x 284 really a great long range cartridge?

[QUOTE="barnesuser28, post: 721495, member: 43468"] It is a necked down 284 win, the 284 win is not based on the 30-06, that would be a 280 rem. Winchester designed the 284 win to duplicate the then wildcat 280 rem velocities in a shorter package, able to function in a short action. IMHO the 284 win is a better LR cartridge than the 6.5x284 for 2 reasons, 1. A larger variety of long, heavy for caliber, high BC bullets. 2. Much longer barrel life compared to the 6.5x284. I have a 6.5x284 and in the process of building a 284 win for 800 yards and in hunting. Im suprised you havent found more info because there are a lot of people out there that shoot the 6.5x284 for 1000 yard f-class and benchrest [/QUOTE]
