Why do people think the 6.5 -.284 is any better than the regular .284 Win.?

Yorketransport, you most just be an amazing shot.  Just curious, whats your group at 1400 yards?

I have a Remington 700 BDL in 22-250, the barrel is shot out and want to rebarrel it into something a little mightier and legal for deer hunting, Dont say .308 I have two of those already. What calibers/ wildcats are out there? What would you recomend? I will primarily coyote hunt and maybe do a little deer hunting with it. Im thinking a little faster and flatter, longer range

.250-3000

.250-3000 AI if you really want to be a lone wolf!  Or maybe a .22 Cheetah. Even though it's not legal for deer it does sound fun and you wouldn't need a new barrel as you should be able to just shorten and rechamber

Take a look at either the 6.5-284 or maybe just a straight 284 Win. We should start a thread about the benefits of each. If you want to be different, try one of the different versions of the 25-08.

Yorketransport, you most just be an amazing shot.  Just curious, whats your group at 1400 yards?

I will admit, you've called me out. It's not actually 1400 yards. It's actually 1389. And as for my shooting, I'm not that good. The 308 is just that mediocre.

It's hard to measure the group sizes since they're 20 feet up the rock wall. We're holding sub MOA though. The spots on the rock that we're shooting at are about 8" diameter though. When the weather clears up enough to allow it we'll go up and get some more video and pictures of the targets. I put a bowling pin out there so that now we will have an object of a familiar size to give some scale. The area is fogged in and the wind is terrible this time of year though so we don't do much shooting out there.

A few of the videos from early this summer are posted up on youtube.

Great thread.
So, who solved the dilemma by owning both calibers?
(((This Guy!)))

A 30" 284 is waaaaay handier.....

[Biggerhammer]

If your at 30"', why not go 32"? It would be super quick as a hi-Lifter jack bar! It could also second for a spit if you want to grill whatever you have shot in the field whole on the spot.
