[QUOTE="wildcat westerner, post: 1481174, member: 21361"] Both the forgoing statements are valid within their parameters. I find the results of the 6.5 Creedmoor to be pretty outstanding. I have a newer 6.5 Sherman and was able to attain 3,300 fps with the same Hornady 143 grain bullet, but it takes 57 grains of RE23 and a 26 inch barrel to do it! Some bolt rifles are junk and even midrange loads can be dangerous. In the cases of tuned actions,RWS brass, and measuring the case base when fired when using a 1/10,000 mike you can push things safely to the max. I've done this and when target shooting this method worked for me when setting two worlds records. BUT, since we are hunting with the rifle in question there is no mammal in North America who would notice the difference, upon receipt, of 100 fps, above 3,000fps. I have run across hunters in the field with stuck cases in chambers, or they extracted the base of the case when it separated. This is "over the edge" mentality when reloading for hunting. I get the idea that some people on this site spend more time in front of their computers than they do hunting or developing their tracking skills. [/QUOTE]
