Just got a Xero mainly to see how my 14.5 308 performed. Online people were saying to expect 2400-2450fps from 150gr fmj, I was getting 200fps more than that from 4 different brands that I tested in that weight. I think people exaggerate the performance loss from these semi short barrels with 308/6.5. It's probably from the old fudd lore of needing 18 inch barrels at least. I suspect the 6.5 with a 14.5 barrel and 140gr eldm would get close to 2500 fps based off my friend's 20 inch getting 2595.

Now they all want SBR 6.5CM’s. Is it a trend thing? Probably. But I’ll take this over a Stanley Cup mug or Bogg bag any day of the week 😂. Cheers!

I've mostly got my 16" 6.5 done, and have taken it out this passed weekend. It did, in fact, get to the 1000 meter max at my range, with a surprising regularity. My barrel was a good bit lighter than yours, though, with a hybrid contour Criterion. Agree on the 147gr Eld-Ms. I'm trying some Barnes copper solids, too, and getting pretty good velocities, with a really good extreme spread.

@@FocusTripp Playing around with different ammo, especially in these larger calibers, starts getting expensive real quick. That said, as a ballistician, my specific flavor of autism is optimizing bullet path, and I can't not search around for the best option per firearm, especially one's more capable of longer range firing. Of course, I'm also loading the majority of my own ammo, so that's a whole other time sink, and that time comes at a higher premium than even the financial cost of the ammo, for sometimes only marginal gains in potential accuracy.

This almost has me wanting to swap out my 16” 308 barrel for a 14.5 6.5 barrel. Maybe once i burn this barrel out I’ll make the swap. I have a real nice load worked up with a 168gr smk, i get right around .8” @ 100 and that’s just shooting off a bipod,im sure it would do a little better in a lead sled. If you reload you could probably squeeze a little more velocity out of the 14.5 and a little more accuracy. I still like 308 because availability is better around me and finding cheap 6.5 isn’t as easy but it’s getting better,maybe by the time i burn this barrel out we will be there.

You should buy a 18 or 20in 6.5 barrel with a rifle length gas system and cut it down to 16 to make a dissipator build, I bet 6.5 has enough pressure to run reliably and cut down on recoil.

Nice. Correct me if I'm wrong but if you were holding 59 MOA at 1200 that means your drop was 59'. I grew up shooting on a 640 yard range, and shooting 77gr 5.56 at that distance was a pain in the ass if you had anything more than a little wind and those bullets were only about dropping a quarter to a third of what yours were... We were shooting a 14x14" swinger so it was a little more generous than what you were shooting. What was your hit percentage at that range?

@@RichardCranium321 tbh you're right, but it sounds like the you'll be able to put heavier slugs in the sneedmore and have better performance than the .22-250. You could certainly achieve the same or better with .22-250, especially the AI version, but that would require an aftermarket barrel and probably reloading. I forget the parent case of .22-250, but the .308/6.5cm case is likely far easier and cheaper to get ahold of. Like how with the .338 Federal? It basically did 8.6BLK stuff, but it just didn't have the standard twist rate so it was limited to what it could do.
