[QUOTE="Long Time Long Ranger, post: 661889, member: 505"] Kirby hit on a good point using the 284 case. It is choppy and sticky feeding where the '06 case is slick. The beauty of the 284 case is that it was designed for feeding through a short action. However using it as such defeats the purpose of using it as a long range repeating cartridge with heavy bullets. That is why I didn't build any more after trying it 20+ years ago. The '06 case gave me better performance both velocity wise and feeding wise. The 6.5-284 got a popularity boost in the late 90's when a guy won some matches with it but it is still what it is. Lots of different cartridges have won lots of matches. [/QUOTE]
