[QUOTE="LDHunter, post: 1532770, member: 105"] I guess I should have qualified better. I'm looking at the 6.5 Creedmoor as the "ultimate" (yeah yeah I know.... that word annoys some people) non-magnum long range deliverer of bullets that has a plethora of factory ammo, brass, and bullets available and that will likely survive to be available for many years to come. If that makes sense then I'll go further to state that the long range accuracy comes first in my list of important ballistic features and after that I'd like to have a bullet designed for great accuracy with a good BC but still having a fragile enough construction to come apart upon impact and act like a true varmint bullet will on impact. I know it might never happen because the usual varmint type bullets are light for caliber to help achieve high velocity to maximize the explosive terminal characteristics of the varmint bullet. So for now it appears that I haven't found precisely what I'm looking for so I'll settle for the best accuracy I can wring out of the cartridge/rifle combination and rely on the caliber for moderately devastating terminal performance.
