Compare apples to apples with bullets of similar/same BC and it will be slower, lighter and have less of literally everything than rounds of greater capacity and especially less than those also having a larger bore (no matter how small).
It's pure and simple physics. Numbers dont lie (but load data sure as hell does). >*>*>*

For normal and average hunting conditions it will always be "fast.flat and hard" that prevails
The 6.5s are standing on the pretense of the high BC >>>bullets<<<< being superior.........not the cartridges. Steve
hummm, Fast, Flat, & Hard >> where have I heard that ? >
I'd like to point this out ! I've read & HEARD what some of us 'older' guys have said, With age and or physical injuries SHOULDERS can't tolerate recoil as they did. I HEAR THAT !! It is understandable.
