    so..just because I CAN ASK....and we have members who can answer ..... the 6.5-06 must just about cream them both??? or at least be on par ,so the only practical advantage is ????shorter action length???
    interesting to read the 6.5x55AI is no slouch either.
    75/15/10 black powder matters

    Still 150fps shy according to ADI load data.

    The 7mm saum on the left will spit out a 168 grain pill at the same speed as the prc with a 147

    6.5 RWS 6.5 Rem Mag or Weatherby RPM

    Mark and Sam did a feature on comparing 6.506AI vs 6.5 Saum. Same barrel, powder load, case capacity. Saum smoked the 06 with the only explanation that Sam could find was a more efficient case at a guess.
    My own thought is that with heavier bc bullets the 06 needs a really long barrel, but that is only a guess

    The saum has an inch more rifling as the ammo is an inch shorter

    So more velocity
    BRADS and Micky Duck like this.
    A big fast bullet beats a little fast bullet every time

    True, but the Saum was 200 fps ahead with the same charge
