[QUOTE="BrentM, post: 1795342, member: 61747"] Just to be clear, just because a 7mm and .308 bullet weighs more DOES NOT any way mean it will perform better. Not sure if those are generalizations or some of you guys actually believe that crap is true. It takes a blend of velocity and BC to sort out the advantages/disadvantages of any cartridge and bullet choice. In order for a 7mm or .308 to perform at the same level, overall, you will be in a much heavier recoiling rifle and consume a heck of a lot more powder. Clearly that is fine, just need to understand that its not apples to apples if you go from 55-60 grain ammo to 80-90. Also to be clear, the PRC and creed are vastly differently in performance. Owning both I am seeing 300-400 fps difference depending on how hard you push them. I know some creed guys claim ridiculous speeds but I am comparing similar barrel lengths at near max charges in mine. They are not even remotely on the same level. I still like my creeds and prefer to shoot them but for hunting applications were every advantage is desired I pack my 6.5 PRC. [/QUOTE]
