Howa Mini Action (6.5 Grendel vs 6mm ARC vs 22 ARC)

[Packmansion]

I have to ask. Does it makes a difference to the critter I am shooting if the requirements are under 300 yards? All 3 should have less than 2” of difference in drop and less than 100 fps at that distance. The 6.5G replaced my 22-250 for first time hunter as it has the same recoil and is pushing a heavier bullet than the 22-250. Besides I set up first time hunters to be under 150 yards with their shots. I want happy successful experiences. If they enjoy it they will do it again.

For any of the new catridges that utilize high bc bullets there is no benefit gained inside of 300 yards. If you are a long range shooter you will appreciate the advantage they provide. The other benefit is reduced recoil while not compromising on lethality.
