[QUOTE="Brewer, post: 890061, member: 71923"] if you want to punch holes is paper, then 6.5mm because of the bullets available and the intrinsic accuracy. if you want to hunt then 6.5mm because of the bullets available and intrinsic accuracy. the only thing the .257 gives you is speed which doesn't seem to me to be a deciding factor here, it seems like you are looing for killing power and accuracy. so the bolt face may be a factor between the two of them (284 vs 06), depending on what action/bolt you start with. 284 for paper 06 for hunting. 284 for barrel life. or even better 06AI then you get good feeding from the mag and barrel life as well as better efficiency of powder more capacity. but you have to fire form. I would just scratch off the .257 for what you are wanting. :rolleyes: [/QUOTE]
