Hi,
How much more muzzle flip/rise is a 130gr 6.5G round going to have as opposed to a 75gr 5.56 round, both loaded to their safe limits? I know 6.5'll have more, but any idea as to just how much more muzzle flip it'll have? I'm building a "dream" general purpose/SHTF rifle and being able to rapid fire as quickly as possible without being hindered by muzzle flip would be very nice. I know the grainage is pretty heavy for any rapid fire application, but to be honest I just like the better BC of high grain projectiles, and don't plan on reconsidering this aspect.
