What's appealing to me with the 284 is it is a very efficient caliber in a short barrel. As for why it's not more popular? maybe the 7mm rem mag rules for flatter trajectory and more energy in a...

+1 for what Tahr said the 7mm is always going to have superior terminal performance over 6.5's at extended ranges (400+) . I own both 6.5's and 7mm's including 284 (20 in bbl). Hard to fault the...

My experience is that the standard 6.5 chamberings can be slow killers at or over 400 yards. With a short barrel, more so. If I was often shooting 300 - 600 yds I would want something with a bit more...

If you are getting a new barrel the easiest option is a 270, 25-06, 30-06 etc as then the magazine is already long and bolt stop done. You could also make it work with a 243, 7-08, 308, 260 etc.

You probably be better to buy a long action cartridge one to start with. Then you won't need a new magazine and bolt stop. There is a reasonably priced 270 on tardme at the moment.
