[QUOTE="BrentM, post: 1569315, member: 61747"] The whole 6.5 cm debate is old. Terminal performance is the same process no matter what cartridge is chosen. It seems the creedmoor name suddenly makes go into a special category where sectional density, bullet design, fps, energy, etc are all ignored. This is a long range page where people should be educated on what is reasonable for each caliber choice and what is reasonable for the shooters ability. Rule of thumb is generally bullet expansion velocity and energy correct? Well if you subscribe to that thought then 1800 fps and 1000 fps is considered acceptable in some circles, which puts a creedmoor with a 140 at 2740 fps at 800 yards. If you like the 1400-1500 lbs of energy rule then 500 is acceptable. [/QUOTE]
