[QUOTE="barnesuser28, post: 948511, member: 43468"] I have both, i shoot the 160s in the 6.5x284, and 162 amaxs in the 284 win. My 284 win is throated and twisted for the 195 eol, but they havent come out so i went to the 162 amaxs, which shoot well, way under .5 MOA at 100 yards. The 6.5x284 is a savage f-class with a hs precision stock, 30" barrel. 160s are going about 2650 fps at the muzzle with 52.5 grains of retumbo (rifle has a very long throat, work up!!) the last time i checked. And shoots three shots about .3 moa at 100 yards. The 284 win is using 52.8 grains of H4350 under the 162 amax in necked up lapua 6.5x284 brass. Muzzle velocity is 2875 fps from a 26" bartlein barrel, 1:8 twist, 5 shot groups under .4 MOA at 100 yards. I have taken three animals with the 284 win, and brother has taken one. 560 yard whitetail doe at 560 yards, through the front shoulder, DRT. Mule deer buck, 520 yards, 20 mph wind, little far back, he went 30 yards and started tumbling down the hill. Antelope buck 330 yards, 15 mph wind, double lung hit, went 20 yards and flipped. 5x5 elk, 168 Barnes LRX, 255 yards, double lung, went about 60 yards and piled up. I would go 284 win over the 6.5x284. This weekend i will try to do some shooting at 1600 yards with the 284 win, weather permitting. Let me know if you have any specific questions. Riley [/QUOTE]
