[QUOTE="toddc, post: 1260237, member: 4566"] Since medium game was listed I would go 6.5. All of the larger 6mm will have issues with barrel life as will most larger 6.5s. That's part of the reason the Creed is moving up in popularty while the 6.5-284 is dropping some. The 6-284 is really too much case for a 6mm if you want it to last. The 6.5-284 is hard on barrels, the 6-284 will be even worse. Mine lasted 900 rds or so and then went south FAST. Of course my reloading protocol is to fill whatever I am shooting to the brim with Retumbo or H-1000 and then compressing the largest bullet I can find into it. [/QUOTE]
