[QUOTE="Greyfox, post: 851702, member: 10291"] I have spent a lot if time with both calibers, and agree that if you reload, you can't really go wrong with either for the hunting you describe. I personally use the 6.5x284 for medium game out to 1000 yards, and coyotes farther. Don't know whether it's the low recoil or the inherent accuracy of the cartridge, but with a good rifle and load, my hunting rigs running 10-11 pounds shoot like my Benchrest rifles. I can understand the strong reputation that the 6.5x284 has earned. If I need more energy for bigger game, or greater distance, I have in recent years moved up to the 300WM and passed by the 7mm. With a good break, the recoil is about the same, as is the reloading cost and rifle weight. There is also a wider selection of reloading components. IMO [/QUOTE]
