Thoughts on 6.5-284 or 270

[rem338win]

I'd take a Jack over a Jan any day. Give me the .277. Have you seen the BC and the SD on the Matrix VLD's?
It's all about class in the hunting cartridge relm, and it's hard to be classy when your the snot nosed new kid 6.5 on the block.

You're from Teemeens. Doesn't everyone have a little french in them up there? Or is that Chap-Low?

6.5's are mo betta, plain and simple. Higher BC's, reduced recoil, more bullets. Whats not to love? I shouldnt have sold my .260.

Oh well maybe I'll have to have my .270 Montucky rebarrelled to 6.5-06 AI

We're about fitty/fitty up here in Timmins .....not Chapleau....I have all my teeth

Back to the our subject....You're preaching to the choir..more 6.5's in my safe then 270's

I have to say the new Matrix Ballistics kind of make a point for good, high BC .277 bullets....higher than any 6.5's Ive ever seen. (you guys already beat me to it)

I own both calibers.

I love the .277 but I just think the 6.5-284 is ###y. Lol.
