[QUOTE="JTB, post: 1384016, member: 97196"] Jerry M Point well taken. What brass is available? Most of these 6.5 short magnums are close enough that one will not significantly outperform the others and will accurately push a 140gr bullet >/=3000 fps Chasing after that elusive round allowing one to track impact, deliver optimal performance on large game, and still be able to pack it, is an never ending game of compromises. When hunting with no spotter it is challenging and maybe a little irresponsible to take a longrange shot when recoil prevents a hunter from reliably holding the target and marking the impact point. The creed will fit that bill but looking for a little more down-range energy potential. Sounds like the 6.5 Saum is at least moving in the right direction for you vs 270. Regardless of the short mag used, guess I can always dial it down a bit. Just seems wrong :) [/QUOTE]
