[QUOTE="MontanaRifleman, post: 892135, member: 11717"] I wrestled over whether to go with a 6-284 or 6-06 and decided on the 6-284. The feeding thing isn't a big deal with me. The 6-284 in my Vanguard action cycles quite well. Maybe not quite as smooth as the 6-06, but IMO, smooth enough. I don't foresee having to to speed cycle it like you might have to with dangerous game or whatever. I like the overall design of the 284 case a little better, being shorter and fatter with sharper shoulders. It's generally accepted that sharper shoulders slow throat wear. I don't know if there is actually any data to back that up but it seems to be a reasonable theory. I also like that you only have to neck down the Lapua brass form .264 to .243 vs .308 down to .243 I prefer no turn necks if possible and it seems to me necking down from .308 to .243 would lead to more irregularities in the neck wall as well as more steps involved. In the final analysis, there's not a whole lot of diff between the 2. I like the 6-284 [/QUOTE]
