[QUOTE="Greyfox, post: 1693586, member: 10291"] Both are excellent cartridges for your intended purpose. I doubt any whitetail could tell the difference, even at extended ranges. I own 3 6.5x284’s, used for LRH, and 3 6.5x47’s used for competition. My 6.5x284’s have accounted for dozens of deer, antelope, and coyotes over the past several years to well past 1000 yards. I really like the Lapua cases in both cartridges, as well as the compatibility with my wide array of 6.5 caliber reloading tools. With the heavy focus of manufacturers on new 6.5 projectiles combined with the high performance propellants, the effectiveness of the 6.5x284 has been greatly enhanced. I recently built a load using the newly introduced Berger 156 EOL, further extending my 6.5x384’s capabilities for LR targets and hunting. [ATTACH]145415[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
