[QUOTE="Caustic Burno, post: 1613565, member: 694"] I have looked at the 6.5 and it just doesn’t bring anything home to the table for me. It’s a slow 264 caliber that the 25-06 and 270 long action out perform. In short action the 7-08 and 243 both are better choices IMO. In a hunting round the ammo manufacturing is using a 129 grain bullet for speed that’s 300 FPS slower than a 130 grain 270. Speed or mass kills with speed trumping mass. For ammo availability no matter where I was at would have to go to the 270 and 243. For long range target shooting the 243 has a half century of proven results. Now a round that does have me intrigued is the 350 Legend. Ballistically it mimics a 30-30 and it can be had in an AR platform, bolt action and so on. Ammunition was relatively cheap as well.
