Gentlemen,
Does any one have any knowledge, data or links regarding the terminal ballistics between these two bullets? When I say "terminal ballistics" I mean this definition: Terminal ballistics - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia = "the study of the behavior and effects of a projectile when it hits its target."
I get that the 6.5 mm or even 6.0 mm bullets have better ballistics coefficients and perform better at longer ranges over the .308 (I have personal experience myself), but what about when they actual impact a soft bodied target, such as an animal or even a person? Are there any ballistic gelatin tests between the two? Is a bigger hole more devastating? Is more mass better or do you want more speed?
