[QUOTE="DakotaGlockGuy, post: 922226, member: 59926"] But will it still be less accurate than a properly loaded 6.5 Creedmoor round? I guess that's where I'm stuck on this question of caliber. It seems like *most* are claiming the .308 is less accurate than the Creedmoor at long (we'll say 700-1K) distances due to the bullet drop from the heavier bullet. There is also what seems to be a fact that the .308 gets pushed around more with wind. I'm trying to figure out if they are comparing apples to apples (say factory ammo to factory ammo), or, if the guys that say the .308 is accurate are ONLY getting that accuracy with handloads? Any thoughts on that? [/QUOTE]
