“Meaningful” differences 6.5 cm be 308?

[MarlinsDad]

Whichever you can find ammo or reloading components for more often or locally. The 6.5 will have a touch better sd, slightly less wind drift, slightly less recoil but for inside 400yd it won’t really matter. 308win has been around forever and isn’t going anywhere, it’s a boring round not flattest/fastest/sexiest
but flat works.

Well all thank so so much for all the thoughtful comments. This was truly appreciated and helpful

After much thought and talk to a few folks who have done a bunch of gell
Test I decided to go with the 308 and pick up my howa superlite. Can’t wait to scope it up and try it out

I"m very interested in how you like that rifle once you get to shoot it. PM me if you'd like.

Good luck.
