Nothing new about the 6.5x284Win. It's been around in the 1000yard world for over 20 years, it just took SAAMI to give it an official designation to get one of the big name manufactureers to chamber it. Not much out there for factory fodder right now, but it's easy to reload for, and brass is out there, just a bit cyclical in availablity.
Everything the 6.5'06 can do the 6.5x284 will do in a shorter action, all though the 6.5x284 is perfered in a long action so that those long 6.5 pills can be seated out near the start of the rifling.
