[QUOTE="Greyfox, post: 561083, member: 10291"] I have a Savage LRH in6-5x284. It actually has the same barrel length as the Predator,24". Savage counts the muzzle brake in the barrel spec with the LRH. They also have the same long action and 1:8 twist. I'm getting 2965 FPS with 140gr VLD Bergers and .25-.5 MOA at 500 yards. I know a guy that gets similar performance with his Predator. It's a great shooter for the money. For the shooting you describe it should work well, and give you the energy to stretch your deer hunting to 1000 yards if you ever desire to do so. As to which caliber, ballistics with either round will very likely be superior to the rounds you mention with the right loads. Barrel life could be shorter in the 6-5x284 than most of the other rounds you mention, but for the kind of hunting you describe, it's probably academic. My personal preference would be the 6-5x284.
