[QUOTE="Fiftydriver, post: 660864, member: 10"] B23, Your correct, now that we have very good quality 6.5-284 brass to play with the 6-284 is a very good option, OP just did not include the short action wildcats in his post. The 6-284 and 6-06 are very similiar in performance, the 6-06 will out perform the 6-284 is the 284 is built into a repeating short action rifle and needs the bullets seated deeper but other then that they are very similiar in performance. The Between the 6-284 and 6-06 in a repeating rifle however, there is no comparision, the 6-06 feeds like its not even there, the 6-284 can be abit choppy to feed, espeically out of a short action, double stack mag box. I generally recommend something like the HS Precision DM system which is a center feed design and then there are no feeding issues at all with the shorter, fatter, rebated rimmed 6-284. Generally speaking, I recommend the 6-284 for varmint rifles or single shot rifles where feeding and OAL is of no concern. For a light to medium big game rifle, I generally recommend the 6-06 for its better feeding characteristics. As far as forming brass for either, they are vastly superior to any AI or any other round in this class that needs fireforming as they can be cold formed and loaded for the first time with top pressure accuracy loads.
