Might feed a little smoother. The load data is almost (emphasis on almost)interchangeable between the 6.5/06AI the .280AI version and the RCBS 30 degree versions. All of them should equal or exceed the 6.5x.284 without straining anything, due to 1-3 grains more capacity.
I think the 6.5x.284 suffers from being loaded hot to get the 140 grain slugs up to the 2,900+ fps range. That and a target rifle may not be competitive after 8-900 rounds but a hunting rifle could easily double that.
Been lusting after one of these but can't justify the niche between a 25-06 and a .280AI. Now if I had started with the 6.5 I couldn't justify the other two as much.
That and a lapse in manliness when I shot .270s mostly.
"When you disarm the people, you commence to offend them and show that you distrust them either through cowardice or lack of confidence, and both of these opinions generate hatred." Niccolo Machiavelli
