Give me the 30 06 hands down. Top bullet weight in 6.5 is 160, 220 is common in 06 and 250's were available at one time. I think there are still some out there. Bigger frontal area and 40%-60% more bullet weight plus more boiler room capacity make all the difference in the world in my book. These cartridges are not ballistic twins.
