[QUOTE="tuscan, post: 1284940, member: 90621"] 6.5 is more versatile, and IMHO easier for most shooters to maintain accuracy as ranges extend. By that, i mean the BCs are better, reducing wind drift. Flatter shooting/faster velocity is less important, as you'll likely dial for elevation with either. The most challenging part of longer range shooting is wind calls/adjustments, so going with the better BC minimizes the range of potential error. That is the one of the most important reasons this round has become so ubiquitous in such a short period of time, and why almost all the PRS shooters use it. In the long run, it will be cheaper to shoot, more versatile, and low felt recoil allows you to shoot it all day long. I've grown to trust it so much I hunt elk with it, so it will be fine for any deer you might consider. [/QUOTE]
