[QUOTE="Rodbolt, post: 3037757, member: 7787"] The 284 case in short action stuff gets repeated so much because of long range target rifles need those long, slender pointy bullets to kill paper! Hunting bullets are short enough to shoot thru the short Remington footprint actions with extra powder capacity over a CM or 260Rem. Bullets a bit below the neck only slightly reduce powder capacity and have no other ill affect. I’ve washed out too many 6.5-284 barrels in long action 1000 yd bench rest guns. Never really warmed up to it a deer rifle, prefer the straight 284 in a short action or a 280ai long action. What hasn’t been mentioned here is barrel length, short barrels neuter the 6.5’s. With a 20 to 22” barrel the 260/Creed will do pretty much the same as A 6.5-284. With longer barrels the 284 case pulls ahead. [/QUOTE]
