[QUOTE="Outlaw6.0, post: 894802, member: 23486"] Lets see if I can muddy the waters some. :cool: You're welcome. [B][U]Speed & BC[/U][/B]: The 6x284 can & will run 3500fps with 105-107 bullets, in the 3300-ish are with the 115 variety. Berger's 115 is not optimal, I believe the 105 Hybrid is at or near that BC. The 115grn DTAC runs a .585 BC, the 117 Matrix VLD is touted at just over that. Couple a near .600 bc at 3200-3300fps & you a whole different level of performance. The 6.5x284 will run the 140's (.616 BC) at 2900-ish, I'm GUESSING the 130's up near 3100fps. Both are crazy accurate & BOTH have 1000yd world records under their belt. [B][U]Barrel Life[/U][/B]: The 6x284 will in fact torch the throat faster than the 6.5. By how much is dependent upon how you use/abuse it. [B][U]Critters at Distance:[/U][/B] Even though, ballistically, the 6mm stomps the monkey snot out of the 6.5 at pretty much any distance as far as drop/drift are concerned; after the 800 yard or so range, I have to take the added Mass & Cross Sectional Area of the 6.5mm. t [/QUOTE]
