I likie the 6.5 but only because it comes in really cool high quality surplus Mauser rifles. Much more pleasant to shoot than a 8MM Mauser. In a sporter, well I don't know. The range of ammo is probably alot greater for the .243 but I might go for one in 6.5 if I were in the market for a sports rifle. I really like that full stock sporter that someone else posted on the forum earlier. I have dies to reload mine. Havent loaded it lately but no hassles there and plenty of 6.5 reloading data. Bullets in 140 or heavier seem to not be stocked as much, the lighter bullets seem to be on the shelves alot more but I only load the 140's. Duplicate the mil. spec. for the rifles.
