[QUOTE="Allen Kitts, post: 1718785, member: 103317"] I had the same issue last year before leaving for Africa. The load that shot the best in my new rifle was pretty slow, only 2750 fps but shot fantastic .5 MOA at all ranges. The faster load, 2975 fps was still 1moa out to 1000 and I was thinking more/faster has to be better, right? after some serious kibitzing over the two loads I decided to stick with the slower/more accurate load and practiced for two months at ranges that I thought were pertinent to Africa. I was not disappointed. the 6.5 x 284 performed flawlessly on animals from Wart Hogs to a large Kudu shot at 400 yards with a 140 grain Berger elite. Go with Accuracy every time as long as the load still has the necessary energy to expand the bullet at the ranges you feel you will be shooting at, IMO. [/QUOTE]
