For a hunting rifle, I would choose a 284 over a 6.5X284, unless the only thing I was hunting is pronghorn. Better barrel life than the 6.5X284 and many quality hunting rounds available for it.Originally Posted by JANDY
I really like the 7mm-08, it is a nice shooter with mild recoil.
Both will work with the action and bolt from the 243 donor.
