I could probably get close to matching ballistics from the 6.5-284 with a little TLC at the reloading bench. Either that or a Gibbs
But since I don't shoot game over 400 yards a Gibbs would be more or less a paper toy.
speaking from experience, I don't think the gibbs after all is said and done is worth the 100-120 fps more MV. its an awesome cartridge but the difference is not worth the agrivation making cases
