[QUOTE="Brandon Starkel, post: 2038812, member: 109893"] Well, I live in Eastern Montana. I have had 3 custom rifles built, 6CM, 260, and a 6.5-284. This year I used my 6CM on my antelope. 425yards with a 95gr Berger hunter. 15-20mph quartering wind. It has less drop then the 6.5-284. But when I tested the loads on paper from 100-600 yards I was shooting 142gr LRAccubonds out of the 284, and the 95’s from the 6CM. The reason I did this was to build a dope card for both rifles. For out west and bigger game, Elk, bear, moose, I’d go with the 6.5-284 if you want to stay in the 6.5 family. Otherwise go.30cal=.300WinMag just my 2cents [/QUOTE]
