Id like to hear any possible scenario where a 6.5 does anything far better in the hunting fields to say...500 yards.
Easy - the 6.5s have higher sectional density and thus better penetration on big game starting at the muzzle. You don't have to get to any distance to see the benefit of shooting a 6.5 over a .270. Load up the 160gr .264 Weldcore, and you've got one of the best big game bullets on the planet and there's no .277 equivalent usable in factory rifles.
