[QUOTE="MontanaRifleman, post: 894851, member: 11717"] Well put Tyler, The 6.5-284 is an ideal case for RL17. After doing a little research I see some guys getting 3150 ish with the 140's and 17. That said, the 6-284 is a good case for RL33 and some are getting 3500 + with it and the 105's. I consider my 6-284 more of a recreational, PD, and varmint rifle. I will no doubt take some deer and speed goats with it but my 6.5 WSM will be my primary deer and goat rifle. Barrel life is a very real issue. The 6-264 is not quite as overbore as the 300 RUM which should get about 1000 rounds of good accuracy if taken care of not shot hot. So under similar conditions the 6-284 "should" get the same or a little more. that adds up to about $.75 per trigger pull after you order a good match barrel and have the smithing done not to mention down time. It is a spendy way to regulate PD's. Hopefully my nitrided barrel will stretch that out a thousand rounds or more... we will see :rolleyes::) To the OP, the 243 and 6.5-284 are both fine cartridges with great Lapua brass available. If you want to shoot the long bullets in the 243, I would do it in a long action. [/QUOTE]
