[QUOTE="Jcann, post: 3345038, member: 33119"] For Oklahoma deer and the pure enjoyment of shooting the 6.5 is the way to go between the two. Your cost of reloading will also be less expensive with the 6.5. If you're hunting larger game, say moose/elk/black bear there is nothing wrong with bringing more ass to the party and the 300wm has more. In terms of sectional density, a 156gr 6.5 vs a 210gr 308 is about the same but with everything being equal, the 210gr "should" penetrate deeper. My limiting effective hunting range for deer size game is KE=1,000 for a given chambering. I know this is purely a guess and down range performance is based on shot placement, bullet construction, and terminal ballistics. (How many people hunt deer with pistols/revolvers with a lot less and are successful?) For my 7wsm that's about 1,150 yards with a 180gr bullet and, for my 260 that's about 725 yards with a 140gr bullet [/QUOTE]
