[QUOTE="Wolf44, post: 2291502, member: 13895"] Maybe i am misunderstanding your Recoil comment DOC - but the 6.5 with an M24 taper at 25.5 finished length (for ref) has minimal or reduced recoil compared to the 308 in sim. platforms without brakes being involved. MoBoost and B Gordon have said things well, in their opinions and experience. Pick your poison and take it up a notch. You'll always have those that say stick with 308. and that's NOT WRONG. Which is why you should have a switch barrel setup with that old trusty 308 barrel in the closet. I still prefer the 260REM or 308 due to ease of buying in stores. For the Preppers, 308 or 223 or 30-06 would be the safer choices unless your reloading special cartridge 24/7. Naturally, few really compare to the 308 for overall ballistic/scope/skill education at distance. There are more 6mm+ designs coming out as everyone tries to find that magic unicorn. [url]http://www.6mmbr.com/gunweek084.html[/url] (more reading if peeps haven't been to 6mmbr) When I find my tablet i'll give some energy comparisons but from memory - a custom loaded 260REM will be behind a 7mmMag, but not 'that' far at long range. For those trying to determine such things. [/QUOTE]
