[QUOTE="goodgrouper, post: 153914, member: 2852"] I know you probably don't want to hear what my take is on it again and you probably won't listen to it anyway but I will say it once more. SPEED AINT EVERYTHING! In fact, it ain't even second or third in the criteria of what I look for. ACCURACY FIRST AND FOREMOST. BALLISTIC COEFFICIENT IS SECOND. CASE DESIGN IS THIRD. Then and only then, does speed come into the equation and I never want blazing speed, just sufficient speed to launch high bc bullets into the smallest group possible. Remember, a bullet flying faster than it's design spec might actually <font color="red"> [i]degrade[/i] </font> bc and thus make it less accurate and harder to hit your target. The 6-284 has the capability to push bullets faster than what they might like. The 6br is very forgiving, gives uniform velocities with just about every load you feed it, and is deadly accurate by nature. So to answer your question: [ QUOTE ] I would like to shoot the 105grn bullets at around 3200 to 3300fps to maximize the BC. I know this favors the 6x284. The 6BR will push the 105grn bullets at around 2900fps, so I know the 6x284 has the advantage over the 6BR in this department. However, is the extra 300 to 400fps worth it? [/ QUOTE ] No. It is not worth it. If you want to cut your wind drift more, launch a higher bc bullet (larger caliber) instead of just throwing another 300 fps behind the same 6mm bullet. [/QUOTE]
