[QUOTE="johnnyk, post: 1189503, member: 307"] No doubt both are great rounds. I have both and they originally were in the same platform; Savage 112BVSS. I shoot the 208gn AMax and ELD-M in the .300 WM and the 140gn AMax and ELD-M in the 6.5-284 Norma. Both of these rifles are capable of sub MOA as far as I have shot them; 1500yds. I can't say I've noticied a huge difference in their trajectories cause I use a Mil-Dot (Millett)on the .300 and MOA (Nightforce) on the 6.5. I shot them both on Sunday at 500yds and 1000yds. My target was a 10"X12" gong and it took one round to get the Norma on at 500 and two rounds to get the .300 on at that distance. Both were windage corrections as the winds was projected to be 12-16mph. I don't have a wind meter yet so I was going off the forecast. :( The .300 should have been only one round also as I initially dialed the wrong way. When I backed up to 1K, both bullets were on target after two "feelers". I am thoroughly impressed with both rifles/calibers/bullets and I'm sending both at 3000+fps. But as impressed as I am, and as flat shooting as both are, there is no confusion in my mind which of the two is the "hammer". The .300 WinMag gives up nothing to a 6.5-284 and carries the mail. Neither of these rifles/cartridges have been finicky and load development has been pretty straight forward for both. The worse bullet was the 140gn Remington AccuTip and it hovered right at 1MOA. Guess our mileage does vary. JohnnyK. [/QUOTE]
