[QUOTE="Greyfox, post: 814034, member: 10291"] I'm primarily a deer/antelope hunter, shooting to 1000 yards. I use both a 6.5-284 with 140 VLD's and a 300WM with 210 VLD's. Hit them in the heart/lung area at any range and there there will be little difference in effect or meat damage. The major difference between the use of my two rifles is weight. For me personally, for shoot ability and accuracy at long range, I can use 3# of less weight with the 6.5-284 at 10#. The 300WM tips at 13#. If I'm doing a lot of footwork I like the 6.5. If I'm mostly glassing big bodied Alberta mulies with the chance of a shot at 1000 yards or more, I like the 300WM. Overall though, I'd have no problem using either one for deer. [/QUOTE]
