From a hunting perspective take two identical rifles, have one in 308 and one in 65 Creedmoor and I very much doubt whether you nor the game you are shooting will now the difference. A correctly constructed bullet is probably more important than the calibre.







Meant to add,

I do agree that ballisticlly the 6.5 is better than the 270 and I think the 7mm but the larger bullets put a bigger hole in the critter. If I was to be buying a 270 today would I or would I go the 6.5. Still go the 270 here simply because of the ammo situation and I can legally hunt Sambar in Victoria with a 270, I can't with a 6.5. If I was into long range shooting a 6.5 is what I would have.




Really?? Caliber restriction there on larger game??


As to 6.5 or 308..here are a couple of new ones available in 2018 ..
