The 6.5 won't do anything different on deer compared to 308. 308 will leave a bigger hole.


Thats what i was thinking also.Just fun to talk about it.its always a hoot to hear someone say such and such round is the hardest hitting round i have ever seen..I have heard the recoil was really mild that could have alot to do with people being able to be accurate with it.I have shot some 308 rifles that buck pretty good.

I love my 308's they are certified deer droppers.


DANG IT BOY!!!
