All 308’s should be sold with 308 vs 6.5CM ballistic data

This comment shows your lack of intelligence. 6.5CM does everything you need and nothing you don’t 🤷‍♂️. Perfect hunting calibre- 6.5x55 swede has been dropping moose across Europe for generations.

I get asked to do this enough, I may as well.

Me too.

There’s a fair bit of evidence now that shows breaking in barrels and cleaning them achieves nothing.

Thanks mate. I feel sorry for you lefties, always getting the short end of the stick

@@fhckoutdoors no you don’t😂 if I was 10 years older my pop would’ve beaten it out of me anyway!(he still wanted to in 91’)

I prefer direct mount where I can. However, I do have a number of rifles with pic rails because I do change scopes on them.

@@fhckoutdoors I do a lot of handloading and it's just much easier on me to use a range scope and switch it from rifle to rifle. When you have 8-10 at the range it seems to work well so far. Keeps me from having to buy a scope for each rifle. I do have a few still with Talleys but I now prefer pic rails.

​@@derekmcmurry do you have to sight in every time you change it over? Like the idea

@@Paul-lk4np Yes. But what I've noticed is if the cartridge is similar, say a 270 Win and a 280 Rem or 30-06, it's not off by much. However, I did find that taking the scope system off a 6.5 Creedmoor and putting it on my 300 Win Mag, it was not even on paper so I do the usual and take the bolt out, look through the bore, center it up on target at 100 yards, and adjust the scope accordingly. This is the one downside but it saves a TON of money by not having to buy a scope for every rifle. My problem is I have a LOT of rifles and that gets expensive. I came to the conclusion I can't hunt with them all at the same time and when I do go on a hunt I always take 2 rifles in case something happens to one and each has it's own scope sighted in of course but I'm talking about rangetime and convenience while swapping scope rifle to rifle. In the above situation I mentioned from Creedmoor to 300WM, I didn't think it would be so drastic because both are identical stainless Tikka T3x Lite rifles with identical Leupold scope rails. I do agree with the guy who made this video in regards to Talley rings. I do love them and still have a few but until I decide I want ONE scope for ONE rifle and shoots to my satisfaction, it's getting the rail and changeable scope until I work up a load or end up selling the rifle or sometimes I'll customize it and keep it. I had to do this with my first Tikka T3x stainless in 308. Just didn't shoot to Tikka's MOA guarantee and I didn't want the hassle of sending it to the manufacturer so I put a cut-rifled Brux barrel on it and an AG Composite stock still in 308 and it's insane accurate now.

Thanks mate, I’ll look up high velocity.

Well aware of the legal minimum for sambar in Vic. Arbitrary to say the least, considering 357mag is legal, and has much, much less capability than any of the 6.5 cartridges.

Thank you, very well explained

Thanks & excellent vid by the way. Something else I've found which you may find useful with the Howa trigger is to keep a thin smear of grease on top of that firing pin sear/catch. Because of the way that trigger system operates, the firing pin catch has to drag along the sear due to the constant upward spring pressure after the firing pin is released. I started applying grease when I noticed the firing pin fall sounded different with nearly every trigger pull & sometimes it looked & sounded quite anaemic. The grease improved the firing pin fall a good deal.

Yeah in the US they are available in 308, 6.5, 243 and 7-08. In Australian only 308 and 6.5. Not sure if they’ll bother sending the other calibers here though

@@fhckoutdoors Makes sense, it seems like it takes about a year for the new stuff to get up here from the states, but at least we usually get it.

Would also like to add, looking at magazine conversion, but not sold on it yet. Originally purchased and setup for kids for later down track 🍻🤘

Pigs, goats and dogs most likely

considering how cheap they are not too bad, usually the barrels aren't too great finish wise from the factory. once they're broken in they seem to shoot fine. Doesn't help the cheap stocks with they come with aren't the greatest

Blued

So until you read the title

@@fhckoutdoors Correct! I had a good laugh as you gave me permission to use the Manbun title. I just didn't think it would be on you.

Yes, obviously.

You can push an equal weight projectile faster out of a 308 but because of how low the BC is it loses velocity quickly, drops faster and does not retain energy. You can push heavier bullets, but then you lose trajectory. I’ll do a video explaining the two out of a 20” barrel.

308 might start out faster but I bet the 6.5 with it's high BC bullet will be going faster at 300 yards with almost the same energy level as the 308 with a lot less drop and wind drift. The only advantage for 308 would be heavier bullets for close range shots at elk,, moose, bear. For most all other varmit, deer, antelope, and even elk with solid copper bullets I would prefer the 6.5 due to better trajectory and lower recoil.

Hahaha

Still haven’t been able to figure out what the almighty 6.5 CM can do that my 6.5 Swede can’t…

@@jeffcopenhaver2217 less recoil, short action vs long action etc etc etc... Blokes who are far better shooters than you created it, so I guess they know what they're doing. The only problem with the Creedmoor is it got TOO hyped up and promoted, and people started thinking it was being described as the ultimate everything calibre, when in fact it was designed specifically for long range target shooting. Simple. And it does that extremely well.

Fuck 308

😂

Their business model is to build barreled actions and then use other companies stocks and accessories. Solid model really.

Because it will get demonetised.

​@@fhckoutdoors no shit

Wait until you hear about 6.5-284, 6.5-06 and 7mm-300

08 is because it's parent cartridge is the 308

Commenting about cursing is a sign of penis shortage.

@@fhckoutdoors takes one to know one

@@cabochris100 Ah yes, the old faithful “no you” defence.

We'll see.
