[QUOTE="Garycrow, post: 924547, member: 30743"] 6.5x284 isn't a short action caliber, at least not if you want to shoot long bullets out of it. It's best built on a long action so you can take advantage of the higher BC bullets. The 284 case will fit in a short action but you're very limited by doing so. You could build one on your long action Winchester, it'd work well though it might take some tweaking in the feeding department though I suspect it'd feed fine without any feeding work. The bolt face is the same for it and the .270. An 8 twist barrel chambered in 6.5x284 would be a great use of that action. A new barrel chambered in 6.5x284 fitted to your action would run from $400 on the low end to $700 on the high end. The advantage of a 6.5 or 7mm over a 270 are the vastly improved bullet selection.
