I currently have a 300 Win mag set up with bull barrel etc that i was going to use, however the BC of the 6.5 and even the .284 both beat out the .308. I am just wondering if the money spent on building the 6.5-284 could be used for dressing up a current gun i have to attain the same results and put a good glass on top, for the same money.
