[QUOTE="TH, post: 380074, member: 1046"] Mike, The 6.5X284 is a good round I shot it for years. But when it come to varmit hunting the 6mm's at high velocity beats it to pieces. B.C. is important but there is a fine line between the 6mm 107 sierra bc of .53 and the 142smk at .59 so there really isnt that big of a spread betwen them. The 107 at 3400fps is way way flater shooting then the 142smk at 2950 to 3000 fps. The flatter shooting rounds make up for a lot in errors in ranging calculations and wind drift. So to answer your question with my real world expirence with both calibers going ground hog hunting. I would take the 6mm every time. Another real world expirence is bullet expansion on varmits. The 107 smk blows ground hogs to pieces. The 142 smk just punches holes in them. To each their own just my .02 cents worth [/QUOTE]
