what are the ballistics for a 6.5tcu out of a 21in barrel? with say 120 and 140gr. bullets?

Good question.  Based on 14" performance, I'd guess ca. 2400 for the 120s and 2150 for the 140s depending on how the throat is cut.  Just guesses though.

There is an archived article on this very subject at :

looks like the 6.5 would make a nice light carbine caliber.
