[QUOTE="25WSM, post: 1976950, member: 38048"] The 6.5 calibers in general are pretty impressive as far as retained energy and wind drift numbers go. To me the 6.5 is the Goldilocks zone. Not too much not too little. Sure the 7mm and 30 can outdo it but the bullets are alot heavier and larger cases are need to be used to get the heavies up to speed. To me the 6.5s are just right. Easy to shoot, accurate and plenty of retained energy with a high sectional density. The Creed is a great round but it's mostly the 6.5 bullets that make it so. The rest of the 6.5 cartridges are impressive just as much. Shep [/QUOTE]
