Exactly, efficiency!!!

That’s the name of the game.

I think a comparison between the 6.5 PRC and the 270 would be more of an apples to apples comparison given the powder charge.

I know how some of you hate data and facts, and these are from 2 different manufacturers, but it’ll paint a bit of a picture.

Something to note is the heavier, smaller diameter bullet will have a higher bc, and as we all know will result in more energy being transferred further down range.
