I am on my way to my first build. The reason being for my daughter who is 4. I have plenty of time. My wife doesn't believe me either. She'll want one after I get this one done I'm sure. The reasoning behind the 6.5 for me is this. We shoot a 1" x12x12 steel plate at 300 yds regularly. When we shoot the AR at it we have to really listen for the splash and it doesn't hardly get the plate to swinging. I want something that is going to smack and move it with authority. 6.5 Gren should provide this. Should also relate well to deer.
