I have a Tikka .270 WSM.

Zen, here's some info on the 6.5-284.
http://www.6mmbr.com/SixFive284.html
A good friend of mine converted his .260 Rem Ti into a 6.5-284 and loves it!! It feeds slicker than snot and has the same case capicity of a 25-06! The 6.5 is a long range performer! It will egual the 270 and maybe better it. All with less recoil in a short action. And with the high BC's of 6.5 bullet selection it is taking the bench rest competition's by storm! Becomeing very popular amongest the 1000 yd shooters.
I've always wanted a longrange bomber that won't kill the shoulder! It will also handle bears and even elk just fine. The 6.5 is time tested and a proven moose killer in scandanavian countries!
Nothing wrong with the .260 as my pard killed 174 inch mulie with a .260 last year at 510yds with a 130 gr scroccio!! I'll prolly have some 125 gr partitions loaded up for either the .260 or the 6.5-284!
I'm ready!!

(BRIEF HIJACK)
I know a lot of rifle hunters that wish their guns would group 1"@100. Impressive. From a rest? What kind of rest do you use in the field? I'm not hand gun savvy. I didn't realize a handgun could have that kind of performance down range. What is the best performance a shooter could hope for out of a HG?

A good friend of mine has a nice pistol that can hit clays in the dirt at 200 yards w/ iron sights. Very effective although it costed more than my rifle :)
