And you - probably intentionally - miss the point completely. Once again, my comments are regarding the vast majority of hunters who take their game at at ranges under 300 yards and use factory ammo. Very few of them will see any big benefit with a 6.5 Creedmoor vs whatever else they might be using.

Does the 6.5 Creedmoor shine at longer ranges? Yes. The benefits of the 6.5mm projectiles are the reason I built a 6.5-06AI.


Coyote Hunter - NRA Patriot Life, NRA Whittington Center Life, GOA, DAD - and I VOTE!

No, I'm not a Ruger bigot - just an unabashed fan of their revolvers, M77's and #1's.

A good .30-06 is a 99% solution.
