I don't recall mentioning the 6.5x284 in my post? Did I miss something? It was about the inane comment about the 6.5x55 and .260 with 140 gr. bullets. For me to make a statement like that I'd have to be comparing a .264 Winchester Mag or 6.5-06AI to the .260 Remington, and then it's still only a couple hundred fps. For hunting purposes, the critters won't know the difference. Drop a 140 gr. Partition into the vitals with a .260 Rem and it will be just as dead as one hit with a .264 Win. Mag or 6.5x284 for that matter. Flatter trajectory with more energy? Yes. More deader? No.
