I currently have a 300 Win mag set up with bull barrel etc that i was going to use, however the BC of the 6.5 and even the .284 both beat out the .308. I am just wondering if the money spent on building the 6.5-284 could be used for dressing up a current gun i have to attain the same results and put a good glass on top, for the same money.
That 300 win mag could be loaded with 210 gr bergers for a BC of .631. You need 11 twist. I suspect you have 10 twist and so you'd be OK.
