Most defiantly. Moving the heavies in .224 and neck-up for a 6x45 in the .223 brass out an AR, have the better BC. with better bullet choice over .257 bullets .
But the Rub is, to take advantage for pushing the Velocity in .224 & 6x45 . You cant take full advantage with either with a 16" barrel length . The bigger .257 Bore is more efficient with a short tube 16", and still get those 75 to 87 grain bullets moving very respectable Vel. being loaded in a smaller confined OAL in AR15 magazine .
6mm AR is pretty badass and I do like it . But.. (just my personal preference) in the AR15's , I like anything bigger than .224 Diam. hitting on Coyotes .
the .25x45 with running a suppressor on the muzzle in 16" barrel . The .257 just a better choice for myself in maintaining shorter Length and good performance .
