You're a bit of the mark there.

6.5-06 is close to 150 fps faster than the equivalent in a 6.5-284 with a 24-26" barrel with 120, 130 and 140 weight projectiles.

Barrel life in mine was way better than a 1000 rnds as well.

I suspect there is a confounding of variables there.
The 284 case was designed to be '06 capacity but obviously shorter. Everything else being equal, I'd expect less than 100fps in either direction, probably less.
Accuracy-wise, you'd put your money on the 284 version- these were the default choice for F-Class a few years back before the bigger 7s came into favour

As I mentioned earlier I've not gotten as much velocity as one is supposed to from my two 6.5-06's but Brian has so go figure. The case capacities of the 6.5-284, 6.5-06 and 6.5 Rem mag are identical so the only variables that will give one the edge velocity wise are leade/throat design and the actual barrel.

I couldn't get much speed with 140's or 129's thought I had a slow barrel. !00's and 2213 have got it going. shortened the barrel by 5 inches too.

Oh. I must be wrong then.
