If Quickload can be believed ( it can't ) the difference between the two has shrunk even more. With the new wonder powders like R26 a 130 Berger can come close to 3,000+ fps and the heavies like a 160 Hornaday can come close to 2700 fps. in the 1894 Cartridge.
So we have the equivalent of a race between a 122 year old and a spry 91 year old. Who can get their walker across the finish line first? Odds are the 91 year old youngster hands down. But that Old Swede has staying power so is not entirely out of the race by any means.
This will need verification but at the same pressures the 6.5 is within 100-150 fps of the .270 and maybe less in some cases.
OK back on the Short Bus.
"When you disarm the people, you commence to offend them and show that you distrust them either through cowardice or lack of confidence, and both of these opinions generate hatred." Niccolo Machiavelli
