There is not a significant difference in hunting accuracy between the cartridges. Either cartridge will provide excellent hunting accuracy, for a thousand yards or more. There are other major differences like short vs long action, powder capacity, initial max velocity etc. If your "hunting" use is for a long range prone hunting rifle then there is a higher starting velocity for the heavy bullets from the 6.5 284. If you start faster, all things being equal then you will arrive at the target with more velocity than a bullet that starts slower. If that matters to you.
