[QUOTE="Jud96, post: 2682644, member: 69478"] Running the numbers, an 80gr VLD @ 3500 has about 100 ft lbs less energy than a 140gr VLD @ 2600. The wind drift is only about 1/4 MOA different with the edge going to the 22cal. This example is giving the 22 Creedmoor the benefit of the doubt running an 80gr @ 3500 and it’s giving the 6.5 Creedmoor with a 140 the short end of the stick. In reality, 2750-2850 with a 140 is much more realistic in a 6.5 Creedmoor. So I don’t see the 22cal outperforming a 6.5 of the same case capacity in the energy department. Run the numbers for yourself. 22 Creedmoor 80 VLD @ 3500[ATTACH type="full"]417034[/ATTACH] 6.5 Creemdoor 140 VLD Hunting @ 2600 [ATTACH type="full"]417035[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
