[QUOTE="Lefty G-gear, post: 2564829, member: 26902"] I have shot a couple thousand rounds of 308, plinking dirt-clauds in the hills at long range, up to 950-yards, with a lot of wind, and without a lot of wind. - Now, I have a 6.5 Creedmoor to try the same. - This article got me more interested: QUOTE: "In October 2017, U.S. Special Operations Command tested the performance of the 7.62x51 NATO, .260 Remington, and 6.5 CM cartridges out of SR25, M110A1, and Mk20 sniper rifles. SOCOM determined that the 6.5CM performed the best, doubling hit probability at 1,000 meters (italics mine) increasing effective range by nearly half, reducing wind drift by a third and having less recoil than the 7.62 NATO rounds…" (BUT, I've heard that up to 500-yards, the .308 has the advantage. - Anything beyond - the 6.5 Creedmoor shines.)
