[QUOTE="toddc, post: 1252758, member: 4566"] Valid observation. However, keep in mind that a 6.5X47 will also "Put meat in the pot" AND be competitive. A 264 won't do BOTH. I don't consider ANY 6.5 round to be a good 1k game rig anyway. The Creed class rigs will carry 1k of energy to 800 or so. This is a great place to cut them off on game no matter the launch velocity. 6.5s need to rely on accuracy to be effective quite a bit more than the bigger stuff. The high velocity 6.5s are great under 500 for the trajectory and will do well out to 1k but that's really only 200 yds MAX extra range. The 6.5 is just too little usable frontal area, weight and energy at longer ranges, no matter the launch velocity. 1st deer I ever killed past 1k was with a 264 back in 1982 or so. Now I prefer a larger rig for those distances. 264 is a great 800 yd rig but that's all for me even though I have done it. [/QUOTE]
