[QUOTE="Brewer, post: 899441, member: 71923"] I am waiting on my 6.5MM-06 back from Heart hopefully this month! I chose this round for whitetails for the following reasons: Bullet selection (you don't get this with the .25 or .270 IMO) Lapua brass is available in 30-06. or you can buy 6.5mm-o6 brass and don't have to resize (this knocked some others out, not the .284) Feeds well (vs. the .284) because of the case design. Case Capacity (its just a little bit bigger than the .284) Don't have to mill the bolt face if you use a rem700 you might have bought in 06 or 270 or 280 or... long range shooters win more often with 6.5mm and 30 cal bullets rather than other rounds at long range... nothing scientific here, though it votes better for the 6.5-284 Range of bullet weights (95ish to 160ish) none of these are game changers, they don't all point to just one round. I'm SURE :rolleyes:I haven't angered anybody who likes other rounds for other or even the same reasons so I would say that these are simply my personal preferences. again, this is how I came to the conclusion.
