[QUOTE="Guest, post: 75125"] Back to the original question... I agree these calibers are "apple and oranges" First identify your intended targets.. you say small caliber long range hunting .. but for what? Chucks and deer are apples and oranges too... [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] 257 weatherby... bad on barrels .. real bad... and quarter caliber premium bullets aren't as readily available and have a smaller selection... 6.5/284... now you have a very versitle caliber... because of the popularity the bullets selection is getting very good... here's the kicker you mentioned long action vs short action.. you really have chosen 2 LA calibers... you can howver, go to a WSM case and get away with a SA [/QUOTE]
