[QUOTE="Dano1, post: 339117, member: 14209"] A 6.5-300WSM would be faster than a 6.5x.284. It has a greater Case capacity and can operate at a higher pressure. the brass is thicker. As far a which is more accurate. That isn't necessarily a fair question for the 6.5 WSM as it is a fairly new Wildcat cartridge and doesn't yet have the following that the 6.5x.284 has. It's a little over bore to be using as an F-class Bench cartridge and barrel life would certainly suffer. I have a 6.5-06 Ackley improved with a 26"bbl that gets faster velocities than a .264 Win mag with a 140g bullet, and I would put it up against any 6.5x.284 in a hunting rifle as far as accuracy goes. its a good cartrige too. a 6.5 WSM would certainly be faster, more accurate???
