[QUOTE="bert2368, post: 2708228, member: 93675"] The .284 Winchester was designed for short actions. The 6.5 version ALSO intended for short actions kept the "Win" designation. The NORMA long action version was more suitable for what y'all are about and did better number wise. (Quote) [FONT=Helvetica Neue][COLOR=rgb(51, 51, 51)]There are several variations of the 6.5-284, but the two most common are based on the .284 case simply necked to 6.5 without any other significant changes.
