[QUOTE="jakelly, post: 559182, member: 26850"] I just considered this question myself, concerning my hunting rifle a 700lh la in 270 win. here are the thoughts that made my decision. - The rifle is already set up to feed 06 cases - Lapua brass is available in 30-06, will take some extra prep though - I've owned a 6.5-06 700 magazine space is a non-issue - The 06 is slightly bigger and slightly faster - The 284 is lauded as inherently accurate - The 6.5-284 brass is produced and available from Lapua - 6.5-284 components - dies, reamers, etc have better availability - 6.5-284 is a factory chambering - 6.5-06 owners also point to some incredible accuracy My rifle is a sporter weight hunting rifle therefore velocity matters, feeding matters, accurate ammunition components matter, and barrel life not quite so much. I think it would be hard to develop an accuracy load that drives a 140gr @ 3000+ from the 6.5-284. -My final decision: a 6.5-06 AI met my desires and on hand equipment the best [/QUOTE]
