Exactly.

And the 6.5x55 is a bit more than that.

And the 6.5-06 a bit more than that.

And the .264 Win Mag a bit more than that.



I like the high SD of 140 grain, 6.5mm bullets for ballistics purposes, but at 400 yard and closer hunting ranges, a 100 grain spitzer in a .257 Roberts kills deer just as dead, just as easily.






It’s not a 260 and not about case capacity…JFC



Exactly.

It’s about twist rate, shoulder angle, being able to fit a heavy for caliber bullet in a short action magazine ect. Lots of bubbas can’t see past deer huntin’ as the end all be all of firearm and cartridge purposes lol
