[QUOTE="BrentM, post: 2073698, member: 61747"] Numbers? Totally depends on what you want the numbers to tell you. People get hung up on all sorts of things and don't understand ballistics at all. Internal, external, and terminal ballistics are often ignored by people who want to promote one caliber or cartridge over another. For example they quote crap like knock down power. There is no such measurement on the planet that monitors that but people go this route all the time. People will also say a target bullet is not a hunting bullet..... In the end guys like Spomer will bag on the creed and compare it to a entirely different cartridge. 6.5 creedmoor vs a 270 win for example. To the average person walking up to a counter at cabelas this is a real debate. That person is likely buying factory ammo, a 3x10 scope, and hunting inside of 300. They don't even know what ballistics means, don't know what BC means, never heard of sectional density, and will likely sight their rifle in at 100 using a lead sled. In the end the decision to make the purchase was based off of what? If you like the guy, good on you, but I don't think less of you for it. If I don't like the guy, I'd personally like the same from you. That is why I responded. [/QUOTE]
