Ralph Payne designed it right after Winchester brought it out. A 6-284 is about a 6mm-06 for velocity, if the bore is good I'd go ahead and try it out.
I agree: Stay away from this one. My concern is where to get brass once you've worn out the ones you have. You may have to form it yourself. That double radius on Webby cases, to me, could present problems. I'd either do more research or pass it by...
with 6.5-284 brass readily available, I would have to give it a try. Good old Imperial Sizing Die Wax those cases and ease them thru the FL die. The Handloaders Manual of Cartridge Conversions shows it on Page 419. 100gr bullets over 3300fps. With 6.5 brass you only have to neck it down twenty-thousandths. 200 cases is a lifetime supply.

Old age is a high price to pay for maturity!!! Some never pay and some pay and never reap the reward. Wisdom comes with age! Sometimes age comes alone..

LOAD FROM A DISK shows it as the same as a 6mm/284 but with the should set back 0.055" with 64.4 gr of H2o. A 243 is 52.7 and a 6 Rem is 54.3. The 6/284 is 64.5 gr of H2o.
