[QUOTE="YZ-80, post: 1696877, member: 109229"] I like my 6.5-284 and I’d say it’s “well-supported”. I’ve only got 130 rounds through it and I’m still on my first 20 pieces of Nosler brass, which I think is pretty decent stuff. I can also find H4831sc or H1000 pretty easily so that’s good. Someone else made the comment that the “barrel-burning” stigma the cartridge has is over-hyped, and I hope I find this to be the case with my rifle. At the rate I’m going, hopefully it will take years and many fallen whitetails to find out. When I decided to get the 6.5-284, I did some research using the Dewey decimal system at the local library and found some articles. I found out that it is best suited to a long action and also something to the effect that there can be some variation with Leade/throat dimensions. I guess there might not be a set standard for this for the 6.5-284 and it has something to do with its parentage. [/QUOTE]
