The 6.5mm Remington Magnum is based on the .350 Remington Magnum necked down to accept a .264 caliber (6.71 mm) bullet. It was one of the original short, fat magnum cartridges to be put into production. The short, fat cartridge design is known to promote efficient powder burning characteristics. The SAAMI recommends a 6 groove barrel with a 1:9 ...
The 6mm Creedmoor is a necked-down version of the 6.5mm Creedmoor using 6 mm (.243 inch) bullets, lighter than 6.5 mm bullets with similarly reduced recoil. [30] John Snow at Outdoor Life built a 6mm Creedmoor rifle in 2009 for a magazine article of the wildcat cartridge that appeared in 2010, but the first documented conception of the 6mm ...
Firing factory-loaded ammunition with bullets ranging from 90 to 129 grains (5.8 to 8.4 g), its muzzle velocity varies from 2,500 ft/s (760 m/s) with 129- and 130-grain (8.4 g) bullets to 2,900 ft/s (880 m/s) with 90 gr (5.8 g) bullets (similar in velocity to a 77-grain (5.0 g) 5.56 mm round). Depending on their case material and bullet weight ...
6.5mm Grendel (6.5×39mm), cartridge designed for the AR-15; 6.5mm Creedmoor, centerfire rifle cartridge; 6.5mm Remington Magnum, belted bottlenecked cartridge; 6.5×42mm, also known as 6.5 MPC (Multi Purpose Cartridge), centerfire rifle cartridge
A guide to the recoil from the cartridge, and an indicator of bullet penetration potential. The .30-06 Springfield (at 2.064 lbf-s) is considered the upper limit for tolerable recoil for inexperienced rifle shooters.

This is a list of firearm cartridges which have bullets of a caliber between 6 millimetres (0.236 in) and 6.99 millimetres (0.275 in). Length refers to the cartridge case length; OAL refers to the overall length of the cartridge; Measurements are in millimeters then inches, i.e. mm (in).
It is the direct descendant of the 6.5×53mmR rimmed cartridge from the 1891 Mannlicher rifle, designed to function smoothly through the Schönauer's rotary magazine. 6.5 mm bullets are typically known for their high ballistic coefficients and sectional density, which gives them great stability in flight, resistance to wind deflection, and high ...
