    interesting to read the 6.5x55AI is no slouch either.
    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
