6.5 Creedmoor always makes me think what a great round the 6.5mm Rem Mag could have been if it had been put in the right rifle. Maybe something like a Model 70 short action with 22-23" barrel.
Before anyone mentions the belt - it doesn't really matter to me, it can pretty much be ignored when handloading.
The 6.5-284 duplicates the 6.5 Rem Mag's performance specs. I have put together a few and the 6.5-284 is a nice cartridge if the magazine is long enough, but no better than the 270 for most practical hunting applications.
