It really doesn't matter what you thought was expensive or what I think is expensive. Bob asked the question, I gave an answer. It's just one factor out of many for the OP to consider in making his choice.
Very true.
You think Bob is being drawn to the 6.5 camp...??

I have been nosing around a bit.
I had a hard time hanging on to 3 264's, not because I did not like them but felt I was pretty well covered with 7mm mags in that category.
I am going on what I read here but if I were to leap into a 6.5 I would get a 6.5 Creedmoor. I am told the Hornady factory ammo is hard to beat and that's one factor.My match shooting friends say that's how to roll in a short action cartridge.
Another shoots a 6.5/284,which is why I asked about it. He says it has "eyes" at 1000. His is a Barnard (sp?) action. He says the only drawback is that it eats barrels but my application would be in a hunting rifle so not sure that's a huge factor.
