[QUOTE="BrentM, post: 1731920, member: 61747"] At 500 yards, following Hornady ammo info, the 270 with a 145 vs the 6.5 with a 143 is 127 fps different. 270 faster. 3006 with a 178 x is 61 fps slower than the creed. All are over 1900 fps according to their data, so all should do what is required. The whole 6.5 debate is pointless. Put a 140 grain bullet with high sectional density in the right place and it'll do the job just fine. At normal hunting ranges of point blank and less all these choices are very good, but the best is the one the shooter is the most comfortable with. Confidence and accuracy are key players in filling the tag. [/QUOTE]
