[QUOTE="MontanaRifleman, post: 870399, member: 11717"] The 105 Amax is a good bullet but it has a lower BC than the 105 hybrid and 115 VLD. I know the the 105 hybrid is a "target" bullet but I've read some good reports on terminal performance. It has the same BC as the heavier 115 VLD which means it can be fired with an MV of about 200 fps faster than the 115 with same BC so it will be flatter and buck wind slightly better. I agree that that cartridges like the 6 BR and 6x47 Lapua are great accuracy chamberings but the 6-284 can be extremely accurate as well n a well built rifle. If the OP was looking for a competition rifle for 500 yd shooting, they would be excellent choices. But the OP is looking for a "flat shooting" to 500 yds to shoot coyotes and deer with, basically a field/hunting. The 6-284 shooting 105 hybrids @ 3500 fps is a perfect fit for that. [/QUOTE]
