[QUOTE="Kevin Thomas, post: 709790, member: 15748"] OP's original question asked specifically about 6.5mm cartridges. I'd also add that I don't shoot 1,000 yd Benchrest, but prone/sling matches. There, the 6.5x284 dominates the field. Changing a bit with the advent of F class, but that wasn't the OP's question. Are there other 6.5s that give higher velocities? Sure thing. But they also bring in a bunch of nasty problems with them that take them out of the running for prone competition. Any cartridge is merely a series of compromises, and "the best" cartridge is merely the one which fits our own needs most closely. [/QUOTE]
