[QUOTE="RonS, post: 1423750, member: 68613"] True but I was replying to the "all other things being equal but weight" question. As you point out, things are never equal in the real world. A 300 grain 338 bullet has a higher BC (~.8 G1) verses a 140 grain 6.5 (~.6 G1). Driven out of a 338 Lapua at say 2900-3000 fps verses a 6.5 at say 2800-2900 there is no comparison, the 338 will spend less time in the air, be less affected by drag and buck the wind much better. But then the 338 consumes twice the resources at 3 times the price and you won't develop a flinch with a 6.5. My 6.5 Creedmoor load remains supersonic out past 1200 yards. That's good enough for PRS or F Class let alone hunting. [/QUOTE]
