When I read statements like this, i wonder what “better” means.


All other things equal, for any given bullet weight, the 6.5/06 will shoot it faster. It ain’t much more but it’s there. Additionally, if you want to do the long range thing, high BC bullets are abundant in 6.5mm. Not so much in .257. It ain’t the case, it’s the available bullets that make the 6.5/06 better.

The 25/06 does have the factory ammo advantage.
