[QUOTE="Greyfox, post: 677119, member: 10291"] I think the max range you are planning to shoot, particularly for deer sized game defines the best choice. If you are talking 1000 yards, 6.5x284 hands down. Any smaller, your giving up ballistic/energy capability. Larger, you might get 100-200 yards of capability, but the trade off will be more powder, recoil, and practicality. VLD bullet performance at the shorter range, high velocities is questionable The 6.5x284 is perfectly balanced, very easy to load for, and second to none in accuracy potential. As to barrel life, any cartridge that produces the ballistics and energy of the 6.5x284 at long range will have similar barrel life under similiar conditions, sometimes less. If you are talking about shooting and hunting at 700 yards or less, it's a coin toss between 260, Creedmore, and 6.5x47. iMHO [/QUOTE]
