I love seeing guys pushing new territory, expanding beyond their comfort zone and trying new things out. Seems the 6.5MM has been a long-time favorite Euro round that never gained traction here in the states even while we were widcatting everythign in the .25 - .308 range.

 

The six-five has a lot going for it and it's probably the one "niche" round American gunmakers and reloaders tend to overlook. Having .308NUT behind the wheel, I feel confident that we'll get a real good assesment of how it compares to the rounds most of us are more comfortable with.

 

Amen! One of my favorite quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson is “A foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds, adored by little statesmen and philosophers and divines.”

 

Of course, I still shoot a .308 (or .30-06) because of the array of factory loads available. I couldn’t hand load a sling shot. Looking forward to your future posts with your results.

Very cool 308 Nut ........... Plz keep us informed on its preformance ....... I traded into a custom 308 FTR rifle and was going to change it to 6.5x284 once the barrel goes ...... I would be very intrested in your input.
