[QUOTE="Sauer 150, post: 653776, member: 47924"] As a Long Range performer the 6,5-06 kan do whatever the 260 can with more authority, less drift, less drop - resulting in higher impact velocity which ranslates into more kiling power. A 260 and a 6,5x55 Swedish on my side where 6,5's a loaded to normal pressure are interchangeable - an 06 is almost at the heels of a 264 Win being right in between the 6,5x284 Norma and the 264. 3000 f/s + with a well constructed 140 grs bullet is a lot more potent than 2700f/s with the same pill. It's almost the same diffence as between a 308Win and a 300 WM. I cannot believe there are anyone on this sight finding a 308 to be a better LRH round. If you cannot shoot straight it's very easy - refrain from shooting. A .50 in the *** isn't worth s**t I currently own 2 6,5x47's, 3 6,5x55's and one 6,5x284 LR Target gun. If I had to take one of them hunting I would take the x284 any day of the week. Expanded .264 bullets are not big and more oomp will be highly appreciated since 6,5 guns is VERY far from my first choice when it comes to BG hunting. For live weght animals upp til approx 300# they are absolutely lethal - but for large deer, elk and moose I would feel seriously undergunned with anything but the fastest 6,5's shooting a tough wellconstructed bullet at ranges limited to approx 400y. But to each of his own - I personally have strong preferances againgst tracking bloodtrails and a larger diameter wound channel helps me avoiding such situations [/QUOTE]
