Yes! As I mentioned earlier that I started with a 260 for everything. For the last 7 years, I have been using a 6.5x47 for mid range and a 284 for long range.The 6.5 x 47 is an excellent "all around" cartridge, even for 1000 yards IF the winds at your range are not bad. However, with your pick of these two rounds, you will be in GREAT company! You could not do a whole lot better, however, you could do a whole lot worse than these two rounds..
