6.0 or 6.5 CM for longish range medium game

[Milo 2.0]

the 6.5-284 is king without getting into the magnum cartridges.

Hey, you put the fly shit in the pepper.
The 140 hybrid has a .620bc, you show me one instance where the 140 amax can keep up to it given the same velocities and I will quit. I speak from experience too, never have I seen it happen, 750-800 yards and game over.

Regardless. The 6.5 beats the 6mm. Period. That was the OPs question. 140 vld, 140 Amax, 140 LRAB, 140 Scenar, the list goes on. They out run the 105 from a 6mm in wind and on game...period. Your arguing when I'm Agreeing. What don't you get ? If your looking for a disagreement, you won't find it here. The 140 may not beat it in velocities but sure will in wind and in energy. Period.

Maybe you are right that I'm arguing, but I'd still take a 6mm dtac or 110 sierra over your list of bullets target shooting to 600 yards. Can't comment on game with my 2 choices, carry on.

Well I think we are speaking in two different languages. I'm thinking it would be 50/50 here if we polled about the 6.5 vs 6 mm for LR on paper or flesh. It's an agree to disagree situation. I was only responding to deer and antelope for which IMO would best the other. The 6mm is awesome for both. I own one and love it. I just have to give to edge to the 6.5 with heavier bullets for most situations.
