[QUOTE="Mysticplayer, post: 66961, member: 8947"] I presently hunt with a 6.5-06 and would have no issue pointing the 140gr SST at any unsuspecting game at 600yds. The retained velocity is very high and the sectional density ensures very good penetration. Impact tests out to 750yds show that it still hits very hard. I feel these provide a equalizer to some of the heavier but not so slippery 7mm bullets. With the 284 and a short action, you might want to throat as long as you can. This will give you the most useable case capacity. You toss up bullet weight for muzzle velocity. At the end of the day, any moderate size big game isn't going to argue with any of these slugs through the boiler room. Jerry [/QUOTE]
