[QUOTE="Greyfox, post: 624514, member: 10291"] Sure. You are not shooting same BC/same velocity. Make sure that you are not comparing factory load data. The 6,5x284 is not represented to it's potential with any factory load, as is probably true of the others as well. For LR work you need to look at the VLD comparisons. The bullets with close BC's are too heavy to drive at the same velocities as the 6.5.x284. The case size of the 6.5x284 is about the same as the 280 and 270. It takes 168gr in a 280 to match the BC of a 6,5 in 140gr. It's physics. Forget the 260/7mm08., no chance. The Ack's and Short Mags can do it. I wish these calibers would deliver the same ballistics. I have all of them. We haven't even discussed inherent accuracy, in which the 6,5x284 leads the pack at LR. Of the rifles you spoke of, IMHO, the Savage LRH would make the most effective 1000 yard shooter. I have this rifle and it is absolutely deadly on deer out to at least 1000 yards. [/QUOTE]
