[QUOTE="jake545, post: 2738973, member: 125700"] You didn't specify short action non magnum before, so now we are just changing the parameters trying to win an argument. What short action non magnum 338 where you referring to? However, I'll bite, but you have to stick with 6.5cm 24" barrel as well. 284 winchester [ATTACH type="full" alt="95FA8CF3-5437-4691-8033-96819ED513D6.png"]436519[/ATTACH][ATTACH type="full" alt="A109A89C-66BC-4E43-975D-315F9A5331BF.png"]436521[/ATTACH] 6.5 [ATTACH type="full" alt="164E0ACE-B606-420F-85E8-AF6C1235B166.png"]436520[/ATTACH][ATTACH type="full" alt="AF6A0AF3-07D4-4255-ADB9-704FD2963404.png"]436522[/ATTACH] So it beats the 6.5CM in trajectory and energy. You are welcome. Punching paper, 6.52cm’s a great round. Shooting deer within 300yds sure it’ll work fine with a good bullet, but it doesn’t make a great long range hunting round. Bullets have a minimum velocity threshold of where they stop expanding. Commonly around 1800fps. So that means 600 for the 6.5CM or 740ish for the 284. Many have an energy threshold for game animals where they want a minimum energy of 1200ft/lb for certain game or 800 for another. Let’s just look at the 1000. With the 65cm you are at 615 vs 915 for the 284. That’s 300yds more terminal range, even if we change it to 800 it’s still 300yards more terminal range. [/QUOTE]
