The biggest advantage is longer, heavier bullets that have a better SD and BC

The only version of the Springfield Waypoint that will be available til the first of the year is the carbon fiber barrel with the non adjustable stock for $2275. I got a Bergara HMR Pro today. Going to top it with a Nightforce 5.5-22x56.

6.5 prc is .532 .243 is .473 around. Bigger around more powder. The 243 has a flatter trajectory up to 500 yards. From 700 to 1000 yards I can see a minor advantage to the 6.5 prc. They both have almost same trajectory 0-500 however the 6.5 prc is pushing a much larger piece lead with more energy. I don’t have one but that is the major difference 0-500.
If you're gonna be stupid you better be tough.

.243 can not touch a 6.5prc. A closer comparison would be a 7mm-08 vs 6.5prc. I am not a long range hunter, but my friend is. He is doing cartwheels over this round. However, for those like me who do not shoot animals regularly at ranges +500 yards, we will never see the benefits of this round. A .308 will work fine for us.
Hunting brings out the worst in people.

The internet has taught "shooters" that BC is king and has tried to ignore WDM Bell Killin elephants with a 7x57. I'm not sure if we had a test before issuing licenses of 6 inches at 100 yards off a fencepost or kneeling if they could pass.
Skinny is my EX.Alcohol was involved.
