I have used the 6/284 on deer and varmints which is a short action 6mm/06 but have shot a lot more with the 257WBY and consider it to be the better of the two on our rather large bodied mule deer at long range. 100gr TTSX's at 3600 or a bit more are the real deal. With my 27.5 inch lapped PAc Nor bbl and moly on the bullets I am running them at 3800. A 6mm / 06 or similar is not going to get into this kind of performance.
