RE: 270 WSM to 6.5mm
I think that you should stay with the .270wsm.I have one in a browning a-bolt,I find it to be a great cartridge when hand loaded.My nefew was killing deer out to 500 yards last season with no problem.I do like the 6.5X.284 I have had one for 5 years now,it's almost the same thing.
