Considering ballistics, at what distance would I have to fire my .17 HMR in order for it to be comparable to firing a 165 gr. .308 at 600 yards?

Are you talking DROP or DRIFT? They are going to be infinitely different. Just plug all of the info into a ballistics calculator and see where they cross paths. I just think these two calibers are too different to compare. If you can learn to read and call the wind with the 17 you'll be set for any caliber!

Confused....?
Are you talking about energy? A 165g 308 has approx 3 times as much energy at 1000 yards vs. an HMR at point blank range.
