[QUOTE="brcfo_outdoors, post: 2689557, member: 113623"] Last time this got discussed I think we basically found that trajectory wise to intermediate ranges they are about the same. Its once you start out past 500 or so that the flatter trajectory of the 6.5 begins to shine. .308 will have more kinetic energy because of bigger and heavier bullets. When comparing light for caliber and heavy for caliber factory loads the 6.5 had a 10-15% lower recoil than .308. Ultimately critters and medium ethical ranges won't be able to tell the difference with good shot placement. I personally wouldn't use 6.5CM (120gr lead free here in CA) for much bigger than a pig or mule deer. [/QUOTE]
