[QUOTE="VLD Pilot, post: 2086766, member: 103947"] Often times hunters chose the lighter bullet in a 6.5 vs 7mm or 30 caliber due to excellent BC and lighter in weight offering less dialing needed at long range. It's kind of what I did deciding on an antelope rifle. I choose the .25-284 vs the 6.5-284. The 115-131 grain bullets are lighter and the ballistics are much better than the 120- 143 class+ in the 6.5 bullets. More so the velocities than energies. Windage in the 10 grain difference won't be huge. The .257 will offer more than enough energy so I wanted less drop and dialing so chose the 25-284 over it's 6.5 bigger brother. Preference really but that was my reasoning behind it. [/QUOTE]
