[QUOTE="ATH, post: 61365, member: 1656"] I had decided on a 300 win mag for a long-range gun, but lately I keep hearing that the 6.5mm is the latest-greatest thing. Fads come and go, but what are the pros and cons of the various 6.5mm cases over compared to each other and the 300 win mag? I know the bullets tend to have higher BC and sectional density than the .30s used in the win mag. What kind of velocities do the various 6.5s get, and how are they on game down-range? What's the largest game they're good for, say at 500 and 800 yards? Are they barrel-burners? The only one I've heard much about is teh 6.5-284...is this the most popular of the group, and why? Thanks... [/QUOTE]
