[QUOTE="goodgrouper, post: 342301, member: 2852"] In the long range or mid range formats, the bullets of choice of 6mm's are 95 grain VLD's up to 120 VLD's which have a ballistic coefficient in the range of .5 to over .6. These are comparable bc's to 30 caliber bullets in the 165-200+ categories. Couple this with small recoils, inherently accurate small cartridges and they will often outshoot the big whopper guns. My 6br improved has identical trajectories with my 300 win mag! Put a well tuned 6br in the hands of someone who knows how to read wind flags and you will be surprised what he can do with it. In short range, there are other calibers which drift less, but can't compete accuracy wise with the 6ppc. I've tried several things to try to beat the 6ppc and come to the conclusion it can't be done yet. [/QUOTE]
