[QUOTE="CHRIS MCBRIDE, post: 2989234, member: 110693"] hoew does it beat 308 .Even with 25 (165 vs 140)gr more bullet the 308 is only 11" lower and pretty sure with 140 gr to 140 gr that would be almost dead even. now that is at 1000 yrd. Yes 11" is alot but when you are talking allowing for 350 plus drop what is another 11". I guess the 6.5 Creedmoor just defies all of the calculators. 308 is very lite recoil as is. I do not understand why everyone i9s so jerked off over few pounds of recoil. Hell been shooting 7mag for 35 years and at 59 with shoulder surgery a year ago I have no problem with it. Surgery from lifting 400 lb bench press in younger days not shooting. Now if look at 7mm-0 it is actually 80" less drop at 1200 yrds both with 140 gr accubond. And has lil more smack. If you go by the numbers it is good round just not a falt shooting as most have been led to believe. [/QUOTE]
