And as I said early in the thread, this whole 6mm vs .257" bullet debate is really only significant when dealing with medium to long range shots.
There are all sorts of cartridges out there, some that recoil little and some that recoil a lot. Some burn little powder, some burn a lot. You and I both know, Tanner, that if a guy is inclined to burn a little more powder, feel a little more recoil, and listen to a little more muzzle blast than what the .243 puts out, the .257" bullets get the job done, and they're a great choice until the distance gets so far that the wind starts to interfere with arranging proper POI. Then the 6mm's offer a bit of an advantage, and the fact that they cost less in various respects is just icing on the cake. But that doesn't mean that the .257's are worthless. For the guy that never shoots beyond 300 or 400 yards, and isn't bothered by the added costs, I can't think of a much better coyote/deer gun than the .25-06.
