[QUOTE="264MHC, post: 1930248, member: 111161"] The 6mm version is superior in my opinion. I have both. The 6mm does 2700 with 105s with AR Comp on a 20” barrel. My old 18” 6.5 barrel would only do 2580 with 107 TMKs and 2460 with 123s. Best load was 130 Bergers at 2390. Even adding 50ish FPS for the 2” longer barrel, the 6mm has about 200+ more FPS than the 6.5 with similar BC bullets. Also, shot a big bodied whitetail doe with the little 87 VLD at 2910 and dropped her instantly. My 6.5 now is a 16” gun with a 1-6 for 0-200 use. [/QUOTE]
