I know it's hard for you to believe you do not know everything but that's the truth. you are extremely knowledgeable in a lot of things just not everything.


Never said I know everything. And your numbers are your numbers. I have no desire to plug them in, and verify, I have the ability to take your word for it.

However, for my uses, I would NEVER load that bullet in a .308, it's just not my cup of tea. But if it works for you, and you are happy with it, then that is all that matters.

You are comparing a pretty good BC 6.5mm at a decent velocity, to a poor BC .308 at a high velocity (especially for a .308) It's not an apples to apples comparison, in your two examples.



that bullet in my 308 will shoot a 3 inch group at 500 yards with a 10 Power Scope I have taken an antelope with that bullet at 554 yards one shot in the heart. With excellent performance through and through.

Hint...............


.30 cal 178 gr ELD-X, 24" barrel, 2700 fps MV

6.5mm 143 gr ELD-X, 24" barrel, 2800 fps MV.

.308 delivers more energy to 500 yards. Yes, I have loaded both.



I suppose this was an apples-to-apples comparison though

Same bullet maker, same bullet model, same barrel length. How else would one compare?

This thread reminds me of a gag a college buddy and I would pull at bars many, many moons ago.....we'd be sitting there when one of us would look over and say to the other:

#1 - You know mine is longer....
#2 - No its not....

#1 - Sure it is....
#2 - You're delusional...


#1 - You know mine is longer!
#2 - Nope, mine is!


Standing up...
#1 - YOU KNOW MINE IS LONGER!
#2 - NO, MINE IS!


Then reaching for our belt buckles we would unbuckle them, yank off our belts and hold them up to see whose was longer....

Then the "winner" would say, "Told ya so!" ....and we'd put our belts back on..... rofl

Busheler was, on another forum and using several other names, reduced to just a post or two per day, after a long period of doing just what he’s doing here. Redmist1 is just a running buddy of his.

Busheler is actually quite knowledgeable, but that won’t compensate for his manner. If I remember correctly, there was one thread where he made 75or more comments, none of which were at all helpful or even consistent with the topic. If this forum has a flush button, push it now.

You reserve the right to find me "mistaken"...but not the "knowledge","experience" or "results",which is an unsettling FACT for you.

You're comparing two cases with approximately the same capacity. It just depends on what trade-offs you can live with.
