[QUOTE="Mysticplayer, post: 63723, member: 8947"] Why not just go 6.5WSSM? The difference in real world vel and energy is moot. You should be able to get 2800 to 2900fps from a 26" barrel and 142MK. That will do everything you want on deer at 500yds and effective at 1000yds on paper. The WSSM is very close in volume to the 284case. Of course, there are the 260Rem, 6.5X55 (both reg. and AI) 6.5X57 and 6.5-06 that all do a great job for your intended uses. I hunt and plink to 1000m with my 6.5-06 and 140gr SST. Easy sub MOA at 1000m if I can dope the wind. No issue with impact energy further then you want to go. Jerry [/QUOTE]
