[QUOTE="elkaholic, post: 890080, member: 13833"] In no way am I trying to say that a 6.5 Sherman is a .338 Lapua, but to some, this may be a bit of an eye opener. The Lapua has nearly twice the energy. It is said that you need 1000 ft. lbs. of energy to kill an elk. I personally believe the tissue damage has a greater affect than the amount of energy, but that is for another debate. The Sherman still has 1223 ft. lbs. at 1000 yards. Following is a comparison of the ballistics with both having 26" barrels at a given set of enviromental conditions: Lapua/300 grain Berger.......Sherman 160 grain Matrix . cartridge.... MV........moa 1000........moa drift.......velocity 1000 .338 Lapua.. 2800'.........24.4..............4.2.................1853......... 6.5 Sherman.3025..........22.0..............4.7.................1856.........
