[QUOTE="MudRunner2005, post: 1337295, member: 12995"] I think you might be drinking the wrong kool-aid thinking that "the .308 Win aint exactly a long range cartridge given ballistics"... Modern rifles and components have proven that narrative wrong, and beyond a certain yardage, despite the slower speed off the line, with the right bullet and powder, the .308 Win will catch and surpass the 6.5 Creed in both velocity and KE. But, you are correct that up until a certain yardage, the 6.5 Creed is flatter and faster...But it will get overrun by a .308 Win shooting a 210 or 215 Berger at ~2,500 fps MV, at a certain yardage.
