[QUOTE="doc136, post: 11436, member: 2699"] Dakor, The debate of which caliber to use can also be applied to your 6/284. The 6/284 versus the 6/06 or 6mm ackley. And so forth. There are many cartridges out there. It may just boil down to personal preference. I have always said this, people that are interested in guns are an unusual breed. We have are opinions and quirks about us. I always hear someone bad mouthing this cartridge and that cartridge. I have heard people bad mouth the weatherby and the double venturi shoulder and free-bore to cartridges that have rebated rims. It seems that we make excuses for reasons on why we like or dislike certain cartridges. I used to have a 6/284 too. i got rid of it since I got concerned on the availability of brass. Since then Winchester has pumped up volume production for the 284 and the 6.5/284 has become so ever popular. I guess my foresight was wrong. Oh well, I built a 6mm/300 WSM to take it's place. And boy, does she scream!!! I hope that I have helped make your decision. If I were you, also look at the 358 STA. It is a good cartridge. Whatever you do, do not start building something until you have your mind made up as to what caliber. You will find that you may change your mind and then start over. Be patient. Good Hunting!
