777-300ER vs A340-600:

Range: 773ER = 7880nm vs A346 = 7900nm

Pax (3 Class): 773ER = 365 vs A346 = 380

Freight: 773ER = 200.5m3 vs A346 = 207.6m3

The freight is misleading however, because of the width of containers versus the width of the airframe, the 777 ends up with a lot of wasted space. In terms of pallets able to be carried the difference is dramatic.

Pallets: 773ER = 8 vs A346 = 14

But airbus do have an option for a lighter floor, so I guess the 773 must win!
