6.5 cm vs 300 win mag
And just to provide context and a different way for people to view things...
6.5 cm 147 gr vs 300 win mag 200 gr
Factory Hornady Loads
Exact same penetration (sd.301)
6.5 cm has 55.4% less recoil
6.5 cm has 26.5% less bullet weight
6.5 cm has 5.4% less velocity
That is a shat ton less recoil energy giving up very little everywhere else that matters. Basically maintain same velocities at same distances all the way out.
This is the magic of of the 6.5’s...
The Grendel 123 gr does this to the 308 168 gr, almost identically the above.
The PRC 147 does this to the 338 Lapua 250 gr. Not as close as the two examples above but still so close as to compare.
Maybe this helps big picture the actual real world differences better? And show why it’s not hype and marketing.
