I doYou have a bunch of 4166 that isn't being used?
Two things to my response- 1st, I’m committed to monos and 2nd, I expected the bc’s of 6.5’s to be considerably better than 7’s but they really aren’t that different.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.
