[QUOTE="docdempster65, post: 2201803, member: 115875"] The 6.5 CM is inferior by over 100 fps to the venerable 6.5x55 SE ([I] aka [/I]sic ' 6.5 Swedish Mauser' ). Likewise the newer .260 Remington has up to 300 fps in factory loads over the 6.5 CM. Long and short of it: The Creedmoor has benefitted from an incredible public relations effort by Hornady, which has managed to obscured the marked benefits of the older two 6 1/2 cartridges! Once you wade through all the bally-hoo... It is instructive to find the Norma video showing a watermelon shot at a range of one kilometer using Norma factory ammunition, 143-grain Bondstrike at 2,723 fps.
