6.5 Grendel vs 308 Win

[Stinky Coyote]

123 gr vs 168 gr
2580 fps vs 2700 (factory hornady ammo)

6.5 G = 52.7% less recoil
6.5 G = 26.8% less bullet weight
6.5 G = 4.4% less velocity
Same penetration, .252/.253 sd’s

Nearly same impact velocity range distances all the way out.

Almost identical to the difference between 6.5 cm and 300wm.

Not trying to be an azz here, just trying to portray more accurate perspectives to help explain the apparent marketing and hype etc. When SOCOM adopts something to replace the 308, there’s a lot more too it than marketing and hype. Just trying to show what that can mean to hunters. Use it right, like anything else, and it ain’t no thing but a chicken wing.
