[QUOTE="257 Blackjack, post: 1459523, member: 106220"] As far as the 6.5 Creed vs 6.5x284, there's no doubt they both are great cartridges but if your primary shots are 100-700 yards just wait until the 6.5x284 barrel gives up the ghost and switch over the 6.5 Creedmoor. We could achieve 3000 fps in a 26" 7 twist 25 Creed - heck we got 2950 fps no pressure with a 26" 25x47. The 147 ELDs and the 150 smk are beautiful bullets in my opinion but they will require more powder to equal the trajectory or wind drift reduction to our lighter and efficient 131 ACE. There are plenty of circumstances where a heavier bullet is preferred to a lighter bullet. [B]None of the cartridge & bullet comparisons shown here are slouches by any means -[/B] they are all very able to pull a Win in the competitive scene and more than capable in the field.
