[QUOTE="Starlite, post: 1936096, member: 112246"] I respectfully disagree. by his numbers he certainly isn’t going to be burning his throat up any faster on either gun. Besides If you know where your throat is and check it every 300-500 rds you can continue to get great results (for hunting) as long as you can continue to adjust your COAL. As to the merits of one cartridge to another well, you don’t need a bigger cartridge for a bigger animal ( for almost all North American animals ) Nor is a statement of his 280 is better then his 6,5x284. It’s all situational which I do realize your comment is trying to directed towards. However, by the OPs own numbers his 6.5x284 has more energy going into the animal; thus great penetration and truer terminal projectile characteristics (likely minimal differences but minimal none the less) Im a little confused too. Are you trying to say you prefer 7mm over 6.5 regardless of the cartridge? In that case.....well there’s always room for debate. Just my 2c. [/QUOTE]
