Just a little info for the 6.5 vs. 308 debate

Re: Just a little info for the 6.5 vs. 308 debate
I can get more velocity out of a 20" .308 shooting that round than the chart shows for a 24" barrel. It would be interesting to see the comparison where the 6.5 uses a 20" or shorter barrel compared to the .308

Yes, I think that the 2750fps that they reported for the 123gr 6.5G is a very challenging velocity to obtain even in the 24" AR barrels. 6.5G is a great round, but it isn't that good.
My 18" 6.5G does 2500fps w/ factory loaded 123gr AMax.

I am currently getting 2794 out of my 22 grendal barrel with nosler 120gr with 31 grains of accurate 2520.

I also would like to see a comparison with the shorter barrels.

Did you really dig that up from 2004? There are many more posts over the last seven years that have good (less biased) info. The 6.5G is a good round, and I've been looking at getting an upper. However, espousing hard to reach max load data in comparison against other mid-tier loads is lame; and has been overdone in this, 'my penis is smaller but can shoot further than yours' war.

My friends 6.5G with 24" only gets 2580 fps with the same ammo.
