[QUOTE="Jud96, post: 2324040, member: 69478"] Here’s some 0-600 yard ballistics to compare the two. I chose the 140gr Berger Classic Hunter for the .270 Winchester. It’s the highest BC hunting bullet that will work in a 1-10 twist. I set 3050 as the muzzle velocity. For the 6.5 PRC I chose the 156gr Berger EOL at 2900fps. Both loads can be driven harder but this is a middle of the road average for both. On paper both are very close in bullet drop and velocity out to 600. The PRC has less wind drift and more energy on target. Again both are good cartridges, the PRC is just better at longer ranges. .270 Winchester [ATTACH type="full" alt="B9801C45-8C36-4739-B5D5-3A2ED3887F35.png"]307443[/ATTACH] 6.5 PRC [ATTACH type="full" alt="1B877631-60FA-4D93-B172-DF9870085BEF.png"]307444[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
