[QUOTE="Heavyiron, post: 1486519, member: 95875"] I like the bigger cases to push target bullets, but you have to consider that recoil will eventually get you. The 6.5 284 was invented for old guys like me that get recoil headaches. If i was target shooting i would use a 6.5 06 or a 6.5 284, plenty of energy and very comparable to the 300 win mag with the aerdynamic bullets. 6.5 will win over time. 30/06 just my own opinion does not have the case capacity to push the heavy bullets long range. I was using an 0/6 back in the 70's and at that time the 165 grain bullet was considered the perfect bullet with powders available at that time. Powders change and now we have all the excellent reloader powders available. The 264 win mag has been a stepchild since remington came out with the 7mm rem mag. It would be interesting to load it with the aerodynamic 6.5 bullets and reloader 26. It probably would catch on quickly. I have seen in my lifetime, factories try to kill off the 270 and the 30/06 several times. All this amounts to selling new rifles and putting your old ones in the closet. Remington advertised the 260 with the 140 grain bullet as having more power at 200 yards than the 270 with the 130 grain bullet and then sold guns with 1in9 and some 1in10 twist. They peed in their cheerios because the 140 would not stabalize out of rifles with the slower twist. That caused a lot of people that did not understand twist but did find accuracy very poor.
