John,
I've had the 6.5 craze now for awhile and have owned a 6.5x55 in a modern action(CZ) for a number of years. I've been saving to get a 6.5-06 or 26 Nosler. Lately I've been thinking though. I will never shoot past 400 yards and almost certainly not over 300 yards. With those parameters would I be gaining much trajectory wise by using a hotter 6.5 over the .270 I already have? I'm talking bullets of the same weight, 130 or 140 grain. I do hand load.
