[QUOTE="antelopedundee, post: 1915876, member: 107384"] So if I take a 6.5-06 and a .17-06 both of which could be said to have the same case capacity, which would you consider to be the more efficient? FWIW the two aren't necessarily suitable for the same tasks. OTOH the 6.5-06 and 6.5/284 have nearly identical case capacities and there is no distinct efficiency advantage of one over the other. There may be other pros/advantages, but those would be mostly personal preference. Ditto for the .25-06 and .25/284. Efficiency for the 06 series likely stops around the 6mm point as everything less than that neck size results in a grossly overbore situation. [/QUOTE]
