From what I was told by a sniper who was there for testing, the 308 had better terminal ballistics at closer ranges. I don't know what the testing involved ( I want to say ballistic gel but I cant remember exactly) and it was a LE test so it only went out to a few hundred yards. He did say they believed the 6.5 would overtake the 308 out past 500 yards or so, but that wasn't actually tested.

No dude is going to get shot in the chest at 300 yards and look down and say "What is that, a 3 MOA group?"
