BULLET WEIGHT.
2 bullets in different cals. Same muzzle velocity. Same listed BC.
Which is better?

The bigger caliber one, it cuts a bigger hole on the target!![]()

We are playing different games thats why.
I mainly shoot steel at non square range matches like this one. http://competition-dynamics.com/steel-safari-2012/
I do shoot an occasional NRA Any Any 1,000 yard match, but not that often.
Most matches with steel targets have a 3,200-3,300 fps speed limit to cut down on damage to steel.
115 is about as heavy as I can shoot from an awkward position and still see hits/misses inside 300 yards. My 260 shooting 142s is fine, but when not prone, I get moved around enough that I cant see hits/misses when my scope is dialed up to 15-20X.
The trend these past few years has been towards the 6mm shooting 105 Hybrids and 115 DTACs. When I first brought out my 6XC to a "Tactical Match" they just laughed and said I needed a 308 or 260.
My F-TR rifle is getting a new barrel as we speak.
