[QUOTE="SpeedGoatShooter37, post: 1598759, member: 98673"] No, I don’t. Take a look at the two ballistic tables. It’s not until 600 yards that the 6.5 over takes over the 7mm-08. At that point the velocity and energy of both are far below ethical ranges. My premise is based on the 300 yard range described by the OP. At 300 yards, the 7mm-08 is carrying almost a 100 ft/lbs more energy and has almost 100 fps on the 6.5 CM. Stretch it to 400 and the 7mm-08 is still on top. Switch the comparison to monolithics bullets and the 7mm-08 open up an even wider gap since the heaviest .264 monolithic is 127 grains. [/QUOTE]
