I can take my .280 and load it like a 6.5-06 using 120 NBT's and then can go all the way up to 160 or 175 Partitions If I want to kill mooses...
I have never owned a 6.5-284, but the 6.5-06 I owned was skookum with 100's...

270. Because it's better than either the 6.5-284 or the 280.

I would say if you are shooting a 140 out of both cases you'd be way out past where most guys shoot,...or should shoot, before you would see a marked difference......
why,...'cuz you want to......

I would say a .280, just because I already have a .260 and am always pushing it a little hard on my 7x57. Otherwise it is a toss up, If you tend to hunt elk more then antelope I would pick the .280, and vice versa I would pick the 6.5-284, but either is fine for most anything. If you mostly hunt deer, its a draw........

24" barrel and I want to say 2750 fps, but don't have my notes close. H1000 worked very well and 3 shot groups under .5 are pretty standard.

Never tried a woodleigh pill. Those must be penetrating fools??

Well they may not penetrate like a Barnes but I'd use them on anything. So far the 140 bergers have been all I have killed stuff with using that rifle. The 160s are loaded and ready, just haven't grabbed them yet.
On a side note, the 140 Woodleighs have been shooting great in my daughters 260 and they are short enough to function in the magazine very well.

Hopefully the 270 guy is gone so the thread can get back on track.

Awwwww . . . giving up so quick . . . kinda gay . . . 270ish It's quite apparent the 270 must be gay ish at least on fairy goats part or he wouldn't be trying to proposition you like that on a public forum. With that said I have 2 270s but I use them to Cat hunt with so it can be said I like hunting pussy. . Not Gay in this scenario! Due to lack of twisted barrels I can certainly appreciate my 270s out to about 400 yds however a meager 7/08 toting a 162 A Max carries the same foot lbs of energy at 850 yds as any of my 270 loads do at 500 and a properly twisted 6.5 will most certainly stomp all over a 10 twist 270 out past 500 yds. Dats why I see a 9 twist barrel or maybe an 8 going on one of my 270s in the near future so I can try out some of the newer high BC bullets in the 270. This maneuver along with cat hunting will thwart any gay. Ish tendencies from useing the 270. Shod
