[QUOTE="BrentM, post: 1738727, member: 61747"] I have had 7 6.5-284’s and have a ton of faith in them. I run 3000-3100 depending the barrel and bullet combo. You should still be over 1800 FPS and have over 1000 lbs which is more then enough with proper placement. Berger suggests the shoulder hit as it hammers the insides due the fragmentation design of the bullet. Now, personally, I feel like 1k is pushing the limits of the cartridge and the shooter. That’s a poke in field conditions and mountain terrain. I would have zero issue inside 800 and 5-700 is a chip shot for that rifle. If you decide to change the barrel I’d consider a 280ai and run a 180 at 2900-2950. [/QUOTE]
