[QUOTE="7mmMag, post: 343763, member: 1188"] Depends on what your intentions are. The 6.8 is designed for 165-175 grain bullets and the 6.5 is designed for 140-147 grain bullets. The 6.5 will be flatter shooting because of the higher velocity and because .264 bullets has better BC than .277 bullets. The 6.8 will obviously have more kinetic energy though. The 6.8 will have a lot more recoil. [/QUOTE]
