As for as a big game hunting ctg. is concerned, the 6.5 pales in the face of the .308 - on big game. I do not consider antelope or deer as big game. When it comes to elk, moose, large bears, I'd rather have the larger diameter bullet, thanks.

If the 6.5 was capable of shooting a .30 cal. 200gr. bullet at 2,550fps to 2,600fps, then it would be equivalent, not better, just equivalent. imho

I fully endorse the 6.5 for smaller game, like deer, antelope, black bears, etc - out to extended ranges (3 to 400yards even)., but not for big and/or dangerous game.

As this was a choice, I picked the larger one. I seriously think .358 is about minimum for the bigger 'stuff'.

Yeah- the .30's will work, even the .270, as long as you can shoot better than Jack - but I prefer larger bullets.
