When comparing 140g 6.5 trajectory with that of the 175g 308....drop is negotiable out to 1000....yes, the 6.5 is marginally better...but the 308 can certainly compete and hold it's own in proper hands. The point is this...we're talking about someone who owns a single bolt rifle and isn't competing at PRS...any significant gains in increased accuracy at 1000 for him will come from him trigger time and just plain experience...and an upgrade to his equipment more than just a caliber/barrel.
