[QUOTE="Deleted member 115374, post: 2002008"] I would take the rifle that your comfort level is the highest with if it were me. Bigger or faster isn't necessarily better in my opinion. Your ability to place the shot where you want it in this situation is more important, both calibers are more than adequate to kill whitetail at the ranges you are talking about. 140 gr ELDX or similar out of the 6.5 is pretty lethal. I hunt in areas of high grizzly concentrations. Even though I have a 375 HH and a 338 win mag, I hunt with my 300 win mag because I am more confident of placing the round where it needs to be with that rifle when I have to vs the other two. All 3 shoot well, I just have a higher comfort level with the 300. [/QUOTE]
