A 6.5/06 (perhaps improved) would be more in line with a hunter's eye and would get the speed of the 270 and high b.c./s.d. of the 6.5 bullets.
I recall Wayne Van Zwoll building a custom hunting rifle in 6BR. It shot well, but far from the .1's so common of a target gun.
It gets a little hairy translating the advantages of a target cartridge in the hands of a knock-kneed tyro out in the field (me).
The field needs more precise shooters, not slight precision in bullets and cartridges IMO. Hence, the 6.5-284 is no better than ones we already have, even off a bipod.
