[QUOTE="dougduey, post: 1468537, member: 33159"] I own both calibers. Once I put a brake on my 300 WSM, it became a joy to shoot. It's my elk rifle. Weighs in at 8 lbs with scope, sling, ammo, and a bipod. I don't even notice it on my shoulder when I'm humping up and down the mountains all day. It made short work of a bull elk in NM this last season. Bang flop using a 200 gr ELDX at 2952 fps. I switched to the ELDX bullet this last season, but have taken many elk and deer with a 180 gr Accubond at 3025 fps. That being said, I love my 6.5-284. It's a perfect antelope/deer/coyote cartridge. It's super accurate and light recoil without a brake. There are guys taking elk and moose with it. Hell, the Swedes have been killing moose for years in Europe with the 6.5x55 If I had to choose one, I'd pick the 300 WSM since you can do everything with it [/QUOTE]
