Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Ask The Gunwriters In lieu of 1 cal. 1 bullet all NA hunting

65BR thread was a good one. I didn't want to hijack that thread so i started this thread to possibly get an answer.

In the thread mentioned in the title it seems like the 30-06 with a 180g Partition was the cal. & bullet of choice.IMO a very logical choice.

So my question: I've been looking @ buy a rifle in 260 rem. I went onto Hornadys & Noslers sites and looked at the BC & SD of Hornadys Interlock & Noslers Partition.

Hornady Interlock 6.5mm 140g has a BC of 465 & an SD of 287.
Same bullet except with a BT in 30 cal. 180g has a BC of 452 & an SD of 271.

Nosler Partition 6.5mm 140g has a BC of 490 & an SD of 287.
Same bullet in 30cal. 180g has a BC of 474 & an SD of271.

So will the 6.5 take game as effectively with the same bullet type in 140g as the 30cal with a 180g?
