[QUOTE="greenejc, post: 1717805, member: 60453"] Actually, It kinda does. Especially when it starts with about a 300 fps advantage and has a surface area advantage of around 20%, and with good softnose btsp bullets it will open up to around 0.75 inches on the way through out to around 450 yards, dumping most of its energy into the animal. Since it significantly exceeds both the ,270 and the 6.5 Creed. in velocity to around 500 yards, that kinda does mean it is just a little better. But its a lot better with 180 grain bullets at 2800+ pr 165-168grain bullets at 2900+. But both rounds are going to be a little better than the 6.5 Creed at ranges inside 450 to 500 yards. The very high BC 6.5's don't start giving an advantage until around 550-600 yards. Oh, and most of the 150gr 6.5s aren't that high of a BC. Most of the 140-147gr range have BCs of around .48 to .57. That's not enough difference to overcome a 200fps advantage the .270 has, and the 300fps advantage the -06 has in the lower BC bullets inside 450 yards. [/QUOTE]
