And there's not been a great selection of high bc pills for the 'ol 270 until recently. Still not brilliant but I bet you can find a better selection of 270 pills in NZ now days compared to 6.5. And terminal performance is pretty well established in the traditional 270.
A short barrel (18 - 20in) 270/284 would be an interesting project.
