Absolutely it is. Better performance at distance than either 5.56 or .300 blk even with a short barrel. More energy than either of them too. Plus there are so many advantages of 6.5mm bullets.

Yeah, that's cool if you're killing paper and bragging to your friends about your grouping. For my uses, hard pass.

Every platform has its flaws, but it really has seemed odd to me that for such a long time the preferred weapon of our enemy has been the AK47, with its nearly flawless chambering action, and we've stuck with the M16/M4.


I've thought for a while that the AK 74 5.45x39 was sort of the best of both worlds. Like a stretched out 5.56 from a Kalashnikov action.

For coyote hunting a 300 blk is probably the worst caliber one could choose. Lol if he uses that

That would be the wrong question to ask him. I'll see if you can figure out the right one.

Explain why you think that's a useful response.

Varies. Not killing paper or testing spread patterns.

You're one step closer to figuring out the right question to ask him. Good job.

The AK47 is the most widely used assault rifle on the planet for good reason. It's much more dependable and can take more abuse and still work.

We need to swallow our pride and use the AK47.
