What’s the source on that statement? (and) What do you mean by “performance”?
The 6.5CM high BC bullet is ballistically superior to .308. Barrel length only affects muzzle velocity not accuracy. Elevation is generally easy to predict by doping your bullets to your rifle. The windage is the difficulty and the 6.5 high BC bucks the wind similar to a 300WM. Another advantage is less recoil.
