[QUOTE="Custom66, post: 893626, member: 65277"] Brent, I was testing some various loads for a friend and found a bit of info interesting to me, and maybe you as well. A factory loaded 30-338, with a 190gr bullet, VS a 140gr bullet in a factory 6.5X284 both shot out to 1000 yards. At 1000 yards there is only 80 ft foot pounds of difference, and the 6.5 has better penetration because of sectional density. The 30-338 had the 80 ft lb advantage. It just concludes, that the little 6.5 is a very efficient projectile!! [/QUOTE]
