[QUOTE="Tiny Tim, post: 2689263, member: 87887"] Certainly no expert, but 5-600 yards seems to be the point where the 6.5 begins to take over. Inside of that, I'm uncertain that there is enough ballistic advantage to make the 308 worth the extra recoil. Its simply that the 6.5 was designed well from the beginning to be a relatively low recoil long range cartridge and the rifles were barreled with the appropriate twist rates to do so. For the case capacity, the 308 would be severely handicapped to run bullets with similar BC's and SD's at the same velocities. I like both cartridges and each has its place. [/QUOTE]
