[QUOTE="rustyshackleford, post: 1529857, member: 59526"] It was advertised, and it’s true, that a 6.5 creed has the same drop and drift, 60% less recoil, and arrives at 1k with 80% of the energy of a 300 Win mag. This was true in the case of a 140 6.5 vs a 190 smk in the Win mag. Most people just took hornady’s word without context and honestly believe the 6.5 creed is in the same realm as 7 mag and 300 Win mag. People fail to realize how ballistic models work and the fact that while a more efficient bullet can narrow a gap at distance, it’s severly lacking the entire journey and both are mediocre at 1k in the scenario laid out.
