[QUOTE="jlamb, post: 509351, member: 18855"] I just built a 6.5-06 M40. At 600 & 800 the difference between the 6.5-06 and 308 is very noticable. Using the 6.5-06 I don't have to dial as far as the 308 and the power on the steel is night and day. The 6.5 bullets have a higher BC to they carry more power. I haven't switched from .308 to 6.5mm completely, (I will keep two 308 in the collection; LR-308 and Rem 700P) but I can guarantee my next build will be some 6.5 (.264) weapon; 260 Rem if it's a short action and 6.5-06 if its a long action.
