[QUOTE="Lenny Foffa, post: 2844501, member: 100742"] You Know the main reason I was not considering the 6.5 Creed was that I considered it to be an Excellent Target Round to 1000 yards, but so many LR Shooting Schools are extending ranges to 1200 -1500 yards and even beyond. [I] I think very soon the ONE MILE Range (1700 Yards ) will become what 1000 Yards used to be. [/I] I "thought" the 6.5 creed could use a bit more Horsepower, to able to hit targets at those ranges , reliably. I also thought as the bullet slowed at extended ranges, it would be less able to deal with wind, and become less predictable. Those were my thoughts in the selection of the 6.5 PRC. in a rifle that had a 26 inch barrel with a fast twist. I just viewed the 6.5 PRC as a 6.5 Creed that went to Gym for a year to build more muscle. No science here, just personal thoughts. I really appreciate your insight!!! Thank You 44-40 !! [/QUOTE]
