Rechamber advice please

Otherwise the 6.5-284 looks good to me, and premium brass is readily available.

I would not advise putting a 6.5x284 Norma in a short action. 6.5x55 and 6.5-06 has the same problem. 6.5 CM is better choice for the OP's short action.
 
At the risk of being indelicate, OP, are you much of a shooter? Did the rifle ever shoot better than 1.25-1.5 MOA? Is the poor(?) accuracy a new thing or has it been that way for a long time? How about the scope...are you sure that it's good? Have you let anyone else shoot it to see if their results are better? Not trying to be a ####, but some people just can't shoot tiny groups, no matter how good the rifle and scope are.

I do a fair amount of shooting and can shoot groups down to about .2 moa, certainly not benchrest standard but ok.
The rifle shot ok, but never well enough for me.
I have tried 4 different known good scopes and three different bases, Leupold vx2 6.5x20, vx2 4 -12, Bausch and Lomb 6x24.
I have used 3 different stocks.
Tried many different powders, bullets, brass, primers, seating depths, neck tensions.
I guess I am spoiled, my other rifles shoot very well with reloads, and I can keep groups under 3/4 moa out to 400 yards until the wind kicks my butt.

It's nice when you don't have to try and it just come naturally.

The lack of accuracy could also be cause by the camming of the action on closing being opposite to the rifling twist.

Or improper loading with regard to orientation of the concentricity of the bullets...
