[QUOTE="Michael Eichele, post: 948429, member: 1007"] IMHO, the only advantage the 6.5-284 has over the 284 is it has less recoil. Factor in barrel life, more energy and I think the 284 more than makes up for it. 168 VLDs can be fired at the same velocity as 140s in the 6.5-284. They have nearly equal BCs (slightly higher for the 168). Same trajectory, same wind but more energy and a bigger hole in the critter. Comparing the 160 6.5 versus the 180 7mm the 160 wins in the wind by 2" at 1k/10MPH, 4" of drop but the 180 delivers more energy. For me the choice is simple. 284. [/QUOTE]
