[QUOTE="TH, post: 380528, member: 1046"] I have never shot a big game animal with a 6mm or 6.5 just ground hogs. I watched the Best of the West video. They have a sceen where they killed a nice bull elk over 1000 yards with the 6.5 Here is a link i hope you find it as useful as I did. [url=http://www.riflebarrels.com/articles/longrange_shooting/shooting_hunting.htm]Lilja Precision Rifle Barrels - Articles: Long Range Shooting and Hunting: Page 1[/url] At Thunder Valley rifle range I have shot my 6-284 in calm conditions out to a mile with great success. I was just shooting steel. According to the sierra program the 6.5 142smk at 3000fps has 1047lbs of energy at 800 yards The 6-284 at 3400 fps at 800yards has 1021lbs of energy at 800 yards. Both calibers have enough energy to successfully take a white tail deer at 800 yards with a well placed shot. The difference is the 6.5 drops 18,7 MOA The 6mm drops 13.3 MOA both at 800 yards Your recoil will definately be less with the 6-284 because of the lighter bullets. [/QUOTE]
