[QUOTE="djm670, post: 1668780, member: 36341"] i think we can assume that the superformance powder used in the ammunition you are siting has higher pressures than that used in the precision ammo I was comparing trying to be show equal performance. I am sure that if you used the same powder and the same type and weight bullet that the 6.5 would have flatter trajectory and more energy farther out as it has less wind resistance. While the wound channel would be slightly larger in diameter with the 7 mm bullet. I am not here to argue with you.. just wanted to show that they are about equal at 500 yards.. and in my eyes, the creedmoor has enough energy to meet your 1000 ft-lb of 500 energy criteria. Nothing more nothing less.. I shoot what I do and have had no problem killing elk ethically with lesser cartridges such as a .25-06. You do it your way and I will do it my way. Additional recoil of larger heavier bullets/cartridges are not fun for me and do not aid in my ability to accurately place my bullets point of entry. You might ask but why build a 6.5 PRC then? And the answer would be because building or assembly of another rifle is as enjoyable and almost as much fun as shooting it. [/QUOTE]
