I'd like to get a 6.5-284, but I use a 270win because it is very versatile.
most 6.5mm bullets have slight ballistic coefficient and sectional density advantage over equivalent weight 6.8mm and 7mm bullets. That alone makes me interested.
I've used my current 270 win on deer, elk, bear, and antelope from 30 yards to 400 yards. It can do it all pretty darn well. It wouldn't be my first choice for long range (more than 400 yards) shooting on anything bigger than a deer. For that I'd probably choose a 7mm rem or bigger.
It's amazing how much variety people have managed to squeeze out of half a millimeter.
