Don't mean to burst your bubble Mr Whelen but were not still living in 1940!
Your statements of what the 270 may or may not be capable of are significantly INACCURATE!!!
Just for the Record in this comparison I was giving the 284 26" of barrel in comparison to a 24" 270. Not apples to apples advantage 284 and the 270 still comes out on top.
SHOD
I know more than one guy who gets 3000fps with the 140gr class of bullets from a 6.5x284. So, that will change your figures.
