Arguing about 6.5 vs 7/08 on the internet is like running in the special Olympics…..you might win, but you’re still retarded.

Pls specify which syllable you accentuate in the “r” word

I prefer the politically correct term, reforking stupid.

Right. But is it RE forking or re FORKING?

You are evaluating the wrong bullets. Monos suck. The benefit to a 6.5 is they shoot high BC, high sectional density bullets with very little recoil. If your animals aren’t dropping after being shot with a 6.5 its because you are using the wrong bullets or are a piss poor shot. If you are a piss poor shot and are thinking a 300 mag will compensate for that, you are mistaken.

My 6.5 PRC has the same or better ballistics as a 7mm RM, with less recoil, less powder and just as much “killing power”.

Your 708 may hang with the 6.5 creemoor out to 500, but after that the little 6.5 will win

Monos absolutely suck compared to lead core bonded bullets. Well said on your end! BC and KE. One helps you hit where you’re aiming, the other wrecks what you hit

I'm with you Shraggs, especially when it demeans someone close to you. But it's the internet....

I saw that and thought it was a shitty thing to say and then considered the source. I've seen some bravado thrown around.

It was a shitty joke made in poor taste. I apologize to anybody I offended and I’ll think more before posting dumb jokes in the future.
