[QUOTE="25WSM, post: 2024747, member: 38048"] 6.5saum blows away the 6mm and 243ai. Where does it end? Most 6mms have a crappy twist rate and can't shoot heavies. Most 243s only have a 9 and still can't shoot a 105 hybrid or vld. Heck the 6creed beats the 6mm and 243 easily. The proper twist can make all the difference between 2 cartridges. Doesn't matter what cartridge can beat what. But each cartridge can be optimized with the correct twist for modern bullets. That's why the 243 lived and the 6mm collected dust. Today's world the heavier high bc bullets rule for long range and if you don't have the twist needed you can't reap the benefits of these new bullets. Ballistically a 22-250 with a fast twist shooting 90 gr bullets will eat a regular 6mm and 243ais lunch at 1000 yards. Put an 8 twist on the 6s and things change in a hurry. Shep [/QUOTE]
