[QUOTE="5.56×250, post: 1647527, member: 110162"] I remember reading articles about the 243 when it first started gaining steam. Many of the same terms were used for it that are used for the 6.5 creed now. Especially the terms " magic " and " better than the ballistics show ". Neck shots were all the rage at the time and gun writers claimed the little bullets just seemed to know where to go. Truth was, it came down to people executing shots with the little round because they weren't scared of the light recoil . That too, is true today for the 6.5 creedmoor. A heart shot deer with a 130 gr 6.5 bullet dies quicker than a gut shot deer with a 212 gr 30 cal. I guess the same holds true no matter how much the critter weighs. [/QUOTE]
