[QUOTE="kburdic1, post: 1704539, member: 92974"] This discussion isn't new, the 6mm and 6.5mm shooters have been going back and forth for years over which is the long range king. Which 6mm or 6.5mm caliber isn't really important, they are all sending the same bullet at similar speeds. In long range benchrest competition, 6mm will win one year, and 6.5mm the next. Last year, the majority of the top 10 PRS shooters were sending 6mm downrange. The actual long range King? .257 It's halfway between the 6mm and 6.5mm, and has only been held back by lack of industry development. This has now been overcome by the 25 Creedmoor development, along with very high BC and heavy .257 pills. In the next few years, expect to see the industry giants expanding their line of .257 bullets to match the offerings available in 6mm and 6.5mm. Really, though, we are splitting hairs here. Everything from 6mm to 6.5mm and between is rocking awesome compared to the old 308! [/QUOTE]
