Let's see how a 6.5 130gr Nosler BT muzzle velocity of 2900fps(I don't know if it gets this velocity,I don't own one) compares to my obsolete 30-06 with 168gr Nosler BT muzzle velocity 3036fps(mine will get this) out to 1000yds with a 200yd zero.
You lost me at 6.5 130 grain Ballistic Tip.
I love comparisons that are skewed to prove one is clearly inferior.
baldhunter could you please re-do your comparison using one of the wonderfully built Lapua 6.5 projectiles and report back your findings.
