Due to hurricane Debby and the rain, I was out of work today and stumbled upon your channel.
Two thoughts. First, 6.5 doesn’t have any ballistic advantage until you get out to distances beyond 500 yards. Close range shooting is always gonna go to the heaviest bullet. I’d like to see the same tests done in a pasture at distance to see what happens. Second thought, I was moderately entertained by your video. Underrated channel. Good job.
Truth is, the 6.5 almost never comes close to claimed velocity and performance with the average 22" gun and off the shelf ammo. .308 typically comes a lot closer or has exceeded claimed velocity from a 22" barrel.
A 140 grain SMK in 6.5 is leaving the barrel at mid to high 2,500s and dropping 63.5 inches at 500 yards.
A 168 grain SMK in .308 is leaving the barrel at mid to high 2,600s and dropping 59.8 inches at 500 yards.
The only argument for the 6.5 is less recoil because by the time it passes the .308 they're both dropping like rocks. It's not actually even a good extreme range caliber compared to many alternatives.
The Creed was 100% designed to be a long range bench queen. Apples to oranges
Yeah but if you Load a 308 same grain weight and for long range 308 is a clear winner
I'm not sure why there is still a debate between these two cartridges. The 6.5 CM a was designed as a long range target caliber that people have adopted to also use as a hunting round. The .308 was originally designed to kill living things that was also adopted by hunters.
The 6.5 CM is the better long range target round. Due to the higher power and larger wound channel, the .308 is the better hunting round at ethical hunting distances as the 6.5 CM only starts to have better ballistics at distances beyond what an ethical hunter should attempt.
If you want to do both long range target shooting and hunting, but can only afford one rifle, you should get the 6.5 CM. If you can afford two rifles then get the 6.5 CM for target and .308 for hunting.
At 600m my 6.5 Needmor with 145g Barnes Match Burners was going 1928fps. I was pretty impressed. I was .5 grains over max also
Awesome video my man. Keep up the hard work, nothing worth doing is easy,💪🇺🇸💪✊️🇺🇸✊️
Thank you pal! It is a hellava grind for sure.
Second ammendment isnt about hunting , i prefer the 6.5
You're 110% accurate on the purpose of 2A.
My personal experience is calibers are like hunting dogs and pickup truck makes. You're always going to have a lively conversation.
You get it.
The 308 beats the creedmoor (as far as energy) out to about 450-ish yards. Then the creedmoor starts to catch up. At 500 yards and beyond the creedmoor has more velocity, more energy, and better ballistics than the 308. At 800-900 the 308 starts to die off but the creedmoor stays supersonic past 1000
If you can, move your targets back and re-test.
5.7 gets more hate than the 6.5. I guess the difference is 6.5 hate is warranted 😂
300 blk vs 6.5 which gets more hate??
I'd say 6.5 hands down. 300blk gets a bunch of praise for subsonic
308s and steel plates!
Concrete test is inconclusive due to leaving the broken piece on the ground for the 308 / broken piece in the way for the 6.5. Not a fair comparison.
I think 300 blackout is starting to take that hate reign lol
With a lot of truth to that. Beyond reliably cycling in ARs subsonic I have a hard time justifying it.
@@RuggedAdventures I disagree. I think it’s a nice place within 100-150 yard cqb and outshines anything where a pcc could be handy. Can jump from subs to supers at anytime for any situation needed and supers can go out to 200 yards if stretching is needed.
@@vitaminme4203 I am testing a 6.5 grendel over the 300BO. There's no comparison and I would recommend a 7.62 over the 300. I am skipping the 6.5 CM and going to the PRC or 6.8 Western depending on availability
Toyota makes lexus, but a lsf is a lot better than a corolla
Yeah, and GM made the Chevett and the Corvett, Ford made the Pinto and the Selby Cobra. So what is your point about Riobi and Milwaukee?
Trigger people
Cinder blocks don't count as "solid concrete" kids 😂
Not sure what's funnier, not knowing the difference between a cinder block and a concrete block or the confidence that you expressed it.
Hello, Are you interested in testing our products? We would like to invite you to test the Light Tint Rear Windshield for your RZR 800
At 18.33LOL
Should have used real armor, ceramic and polyethyene
I had it laying around from another test, we don't have a Garand Thumb budget!
