[QUOTE="backwoods83, post: 648010, member: 29890"] I think your a little off. 6.5x284 140 berger vld 3050fps .612 G1 bc 1400ft elevation 1603ftlbs @ 600yards 26" barrel. 338wm 200 accubond 3000fps .414 G1 bc 1400ft elevation 1598ftlbs @ 600yards 26" barrel. After that it just gets worse for the 338, that's why I said "midrange", at 600 yards the 338 has double the drop and wind drift and barely enough velocity to expand as it should and the "cute little" 6.5 is still cruising along at 2230, go figure.
