[QUOTE="rscott5028, post: 447987, member: 24624"] I love my 6.5x284 Savage and my PO Ackley built 270win. (not AI) They're both excellent hunting cartridges. 6.5x284 is sexier and I give it a slight edge for long range precision. (just my opinion) But, if you're far away from your loading bench and you shoot up all your ammo on the range or at a mess of hogs, you can't expect to walk into the local Jiffy Mart and pick up a box of 6.5x284. ...maybe not even 270wsm. On the other hand, they will have 270win and 30-06 on the shelf. I generally solve that by carrying a spare rifle when I leave town. And, I don't own any 2 rifles with the same caliber because (a) I want one of everything, and (b) I'm afraid of mixing up handloads. My brother got a case stuck in my dad's 25-06 like that. Fortunately, we were able to clear it with no harm having been done. Best of luck with your project. [/QUOTE]
