[QUOTE="lancetkenyon, post: 2025493, member: 68875"] Not out to 500 yards. Maybe at 1100+ for retained velocity and energy, but will never catch the .270 for drop until you are WAY past reasonable hunting distances. For me, that is 1800fps & 1000ft/lbs on deer. 6.5CM hits that at 875 yds, and .270 hits that at 925 yds. Not a huge difference in end yardage. At 500 yds, .270 outruns the 6.5CM by: 6" less drop, 100fps more remaining, 200ft/lbs more energy remaining. At 1000 yds, .270 outruns the 6.5CM by 31" less drop, 28fps more remaining, and 42ft/lbs more energy remaining. 6.5CM 143 ELD-X @ 2750fps [ATTACH type="full" alt="Screenshot_20201119-091949_Shooter.jpg"]226343[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full" alt="Screenshot_20201119-091908_Shooter.jpg"]226341[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full" alt="Screenshot_20201119-091146_Shooter.jpg"]226337[/ATTACH] .270Win 145 ELD-X @ 3000fps [ATTACH type="full" alt="Screenshot_20201119-092002_Shooter.jpg"]226342[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full" alt="Screenshot_20201119-091848_Shooter.jpg"]226340[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full" alt="Screenshot_20201119-091356_Shooter.jpg"]226338[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
