[QUOTE="MOJO67, post: 1031505, member: 68532"] I recently built a 6mm-06 and throated it for long bullets. I was torn between the 6-284 and the 6-06. The rifle was going to be used for hunting, so I chose the 6-06 as I was concerned with the reported feeding problems of the 6-284. Additionally, I already had a Remmy 700 LA and lots of 25-06 brass. Making cases is as easy as passing a piece of 25-06 brass though a 6-06 die. No neck turning or trimming...pretty easy. The cases feed like butter through the action as well. Love the 6mm cal with long, heavy bullets. Between the 2 cartridges you mentioned, I would go 6-284 due to it's capability to drive heavy bullets faster. A 105 Hybrid/VLD at 3300+fps is a real monster for long range deer, varmits and steel. Put's lots of bigger cartridges, burning more powder, to shame at long range. [/QUOTE]
