Howdy folks,
New on the forum. I'm a firearms enthusiast (to put it mildly) and am a big fan of the inherent advantages of a 6.5mm bullet; namely the higher SD's and BC's possible for a given weight. I was hoping someone who is more knowledgeable than I am on this subject could shed some light as to why this is the case. Why is the 6.5mm diameter the "sweet spot" for SD & BC?
I am currently in the market for a Mini-30 which I plan to build in the following order:
Trigger job @ ~3#
Hogue stock, I haven't decided on the color yet
Accuracy Systems International fluted 20" BBL
Ultimak scout rail/hand guard
I was going to ask what length of barrel is actually the best, but I guess I can use the search function for that.
Regards,
Colorado
