[QUOTE="Greyfox, post: 690895, member: 10291"] I agree with the comments in the other posts. Perhaps the biggest reason has to do with the popularity of the 6.5's is the outstanding ballistic performance of the VLD bullets. If someone doesn't want to build a custom, and buy a factory rifle, you can buy a 6.5x284 that is throated for 140 VLD's, and available with a barrel twist rate that is optimum, off the shelf. The 6.5x284 gives up nothing to to other two cartridges and perhaps offers advantages in case design, the availability of quality brass, and in the opinion of many shooters, better inherent accuracy than the others. I bought a Savage LRH in 6.5x284 that cost about $700, it isn't pretty but it will shoot as well as any custom designed for hunting purposes. [/QUOTE]
