[QUOTE="Heavyiron, post: 1486491, member: 95875"] Know this discussion goes on a lot but in comparing foot pounds. Your are comparing a 30/06 grain deer bullet ,with a highly streamline bullet some meant for extremely long range. The 0/6 with a streamline 180 grain bullet meant for elk at long distance will hold up for a long ways. Btw, i do not own an 0/6 so that part of the argument will not stand. These streamline bullets will not do too good on deer and antelope at close ranges. The elk bullets are constructed to expand on things with thicker hides. I know the 6.5 bus has caught, on with a lot of shooters getting on it. I have had a 260 remington ever since they came out also. Some of the long range bullets will explode inside the animal but what about blood shot shoulders. A 120 grain 6.5 should be more of a deer cartridge because of the thin shelled jacket compare that to a deer designed bullet for 270 130 grain, 140 grain 7mm and 30/06 150 grain. At that point the 270 will win with 130 grainthe 280 close behind.with the 140. Case capacity matters most. I know the 6.5 diameter is on fire right now and probably will remain so for some time. It has long range bullets meant for target shooting. Hornady has done a lot for support for the 6.5 cause.with excellent bullets and so has berger and others. It will remain a popular cartridge for many years. Personally i like the 270 for most hunting, but to each his own. Btw compare a 6.5 140, with a 7mm 180 grain to balance this discussion. The 180 target bullet will surprise you [/QUOTE]
