[QUOTE="BrentM, post: 872434, member: 61747"] 6.5-284. I have a 3006. Love my 3006 but wanted the high BC of the 6.5. However all of this stuff is relatvie to the FPS of the bullet combined with BC. Shoot a 210 vld at 3000 fps and see what it will do. Impressive. I choose the 6.5 for light recoil and LR BC bullet with SD for smaller animals such as wolves. I bow hunt for deer and elk. @ 600 drop 47.3 wind 17.9 1482 ft lbs @1000 drop 217.2 wind 56.6 965 lbs 56 grains retumbo 52.5 grains retumbo and a 160 produces more drop but more ftlbs energy. 1505 and 1011. *** The rule of thumb is to shoot the heaviest bullet, with the highest BC, at the fastest rate. Where things get complicated is when BC is low, speed is fast, or BC is high, and speed is low. You just have to run the numbers. It seems like the .264, .284, and .308 calibers all offer something for everyone. It seems like an endless sea of options that cover every aspect. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
