I have never even seen one but have read a bit about it lately. It sounds like it is better in just about every way than the .308.

Now the .243 and 6mm Remington are probably both better than the 6.5. All of them require a very fast twist which many did not have until recently.

I have a rifle chambered in .243.

I know at least one other FReeper liked it a whole lot
when he took it for a turn at TCMS.

But, I can buy the .308’s at Walmart.

That’s the main advantage.

A properly twisted .223 beats both.

At least this is more interesting then the perpetual 9mm vs .45 or 5.56 vs 7.62Nato debate.
