[QUOTE="kweidner, post: 651535, member: 4964"] I have the 6.5 x .284. One of my most accurate guns. I don't load it too hot to hopefully conserve it's incredible bbl. It will shoot in the .1 at 100 yds pretty regularly with the Barnes 120 and the Sierra 140 mk. I use Re 22. just shot this weekend out to 750 for group and shot 3 5 shot groups under 5". With the accuracy if that gun a second shot has never been needed. I have killed about a dozen deer with it out to 600 yds. I am only running the 140 at 2658 the thing will shoot. I could push it well over 3000 but again why shoot out a bbl when all I really have to do is add clicks to get to 1000yds. I would get the single shot again. Stiffer action is better accuracy. I have an ammo wallet on my wrist when hunting should I ever need a follow up. No big deal. I was also shooting balloons at 1000 this weekend with it as well. Check out the test target in the box. In my heart the 6.5 has more potential accuracy than a .243. just look at the 1000 yd line up at a registered match. How many .243 are there? [/QUOTE]
