Now just wait for the number lovers to start sending numbers and charts and graphs.
Funny, Rick can give his, but mocks those who might see it different.
I've been reading HERE more than a few times....that SD doesn't mean anything.
Not in impact on an animal, it means nothing.
But comparing a smaller caliber 140 against a larger caliber 130 is not a fair comparison. (Especially one that shoots 15 grains more powder)
You need to compare bullet overall weight/diameter and SD does that. 6.5/120 to 27/130. So yes, it does matter in that respect.
26/120/.246 ....27/130/.242
S A are for those that like them.
Or, shorter barrels are for those that like them.
Rick obviously does. He wants a shorter overall rifle length. (AKA (handi-rifle)
Again take your pick shorter action or shorter barrel, or you can get the best of both worlds with the 6.5 (AKA (handier rifle)
What advantages you get with a 270 is 1.2" at 450 yds and better cartridge availability, if you shoot factory.
The 6.5 CM will give a shorter overall rifle, less recoil, and in my perspective just as good performance as a 270.
