Always got decent accuracy of an inch or so at 100 with handloaded ammo. Shot plenty enough for sighting-in and hunting including some ground squirrels. Heard all the "less than 1000 shots" stories but really didn't care. So, I can't imagine that 6.5-284 would be much different unless you shoot a lot or heat it up too much/often.

I’ve read it’s not overbore if you can find slow enough powder.

Even the 26 Nosler, with Vulcan cannon powders, may qualify as not being overbore.

That may take some selling.
