[QUOTE="SteveO, post: 1187173, member: 7127"] I'm looking at setting up a long range mule deer/sheep/goat rifle. I am considering: 26 Nosler 6.5-284 6.5 WSM 300 WSM 300 WM I came across this article which basically shows the 6.5-284 as superior or at least equal to the 300 Win : [url=http://journalofmountainhunting.com/2015/06/head-to-head-the-6-5-284-norma-vs-the-300-win-mag/]Head To Head - The 6.5 -284 Norma Vs The .300 Win Mag, By Daniel Lynn[/url] I thought I would check in with the vast experience base here (as this is my initial foray into long range shooting), and see if you thought that was an accurate article? Seems an apples to apples comparison? AND I could pick up a Christensen Ridgeline in any of the calibers above other than the 6.5 WSM. It seems like a reasonably priced, portable, accurate "starter" rifle for long range "alpine" hunting. Opinions? [/QUOTE]
