[QUOTE="Muddyboots, post: 2527457, member: 63925"] So I downloaded Hornady factory ammo 6.5CM 143ELDX versus .308 150SST off their website. This is their data out to 500 yards. These are by far normal factory loads most will use for deer hunting. The .308 is continually bashed and yet the data states otherwise every time you run it from factory ammo. The 6.5CM is "flatter" when you get DOWNRANGE but it does not "overwhelm" other cartridges in moderate ranges at all and in fact, barely holds its own or less. In the OP scenario, the .308 is by far a better selection with higher energy in the yardages stated. Recoil sensitivity IS NOT part of the scenario since the OP has not stated it to be one.
