[QUOTE="Michael Eichele, post: 789364, member: 1007"] The 160 matrix is as heavy a bullet you can get for a 6.5 versus the 162 Amax which is not the heaviest for that caliber. Where do we draw this line. 160 6.5 versus 190 7mm? The results will always be comparable using apples to Apples. There are always trade offs however. This one has a few inches more or less windage, that one has better or worse barrel life, recoil, size of hole, energy and so on......neither are superior to each other in every category. Some yes but not all. When it comes to ballistics, 'hands down' is a very over used statement. Neither caliber in this case beats the other 'hands down'. I doubt the original poster in the context of the conversation will be looking to matrix bullets but most likely fir the wife and kid will be using more standard bullets/loads. Amax to amax (very standard) these two Are closer than most would care to take note of. [/QUOTE]
