When building a 6.5-284 on a long action, what modifications need to be made to ensure that the loaded rounds feed properly from the magazine?
How to get 6.5-284 to feed correctly?

I've not had any problems with this cartridge. I've chambered it in pushfeeds and control feeds and they've all run like a raped ape.
A Nesika once had a little issue with ejection (mechanical eject) but a little fiddling with the ejector length solved that easy enough.
I think you'll be fine.

Kevin Wyatt at Wyatt outdoors makes about 4-5 different mags that will work.
I just use one of his center feed 4140 CM heat treated mag on a .284Win in a Stiller Predator SA. It required my welding the back of the mag box together. I used two 1" pieces of IV tubing between the action and the mag lips. Feeding the magazine from the bottom with 3 rounds it feeds like a champ. a 6.5 x .284 should be the same.
