[QUOTE="Cold Trigger Finger, post: 875800, member: 56732"] I don't have a dog in this fight ; but were I to pick one it would be the 6.5 AI. As a hunting round the 7 won't kill anything that the 6.5 won't within the same time frame. The 7 may be a little better in the breeze and at extreme range. In a heavy rifle. They are so similar but the 6.5 is like the biggest of the small and the 7 is the smallest of the medium bores. Caliber wise anyway. The op wanted something easier than the 300 for shooting and the 6.5 will fit that bill real well. Were it me I would go with a 7.5" twist. Stabilize the longer bullets and not need to load to Max pressure. May make for longer barrel life. [/QUOTE]
