Redbone,
The 6.5-284 is a flatter shooting cartridge than the 7-08 in my experience. I have only shot targets and steel plates but would suggest the 6.5 if you want a flat shooter that will retain velocity. I have both cartridges and spend so much time shooting my .308's that I don't have much data on them.
