[QUOTE="MudRunner2005, post: 1611732, member: 12995"] Well, yes, I am well aware of these facts, and I don't disagree with them. But in his original post, he never said anything anything about a minimum velocity. He asked which 6.5 would be best in a short barrel around 16.5". The 6.5G is the only one that will be the closest to a complete burn in a short barrel configuration...Therefore, without giving a minimum velocity to achieve, it is the best option for the short barrel. All the rest are just a waste, as they're blowing tons of unburnt powder out the muzzle, and wasting all the potential they would have with a longer barrel. He said his only criteria was that it has "good brass available", and Lapua makes 6.5 Grendel brass. So, that's why I tossed out the 6.5 Grendel as my response. How has the accuracy been in your CZ 6.5G? I have heard in the last few years their main focus was on pistols, so their rifles had kind of gone downhill in the quality department? Just what I heard, no experience, so was curious as to your first-hand experience with it to confirm or deny the rumor. [/QUOTE]
