[QUOTE="Varmint Hunter, post: 110291, member: 313"] [ QUOTE ] Both shoot equally well. With a slight nod to the 6.5 producing better groups at 500.... [/ QUOTE ] I would look FIRST at how well these two rifles compare at the longest range that you are willing to shoot. You may see a much bigger difference than you anticipate. With that said, @ 700-900yds there is certainly something to be said about raw horsepower. Given equally accurate rifles at extended range, I'd opt for the 300 mag and 200-220gr class bullets.
