And don't tell me they don't kill, I'll prove you wrong....

If you think 2-3" more drift at 400 yards is academic, would you rather hit a deer in front of the diaphragm, or behind it with the same wind call?


If you go back and read my posts, I was talking about the benefits for MOST hunters - you know, the vast majority that shoot factory ammo and have never heard of JLK bullets and certainly don't shoot them.

But I'll play. With the same JLK bullets, I'll take my 6.5-06AI or even a standard 6.5-06 over the 6.5 Creedmoor.

Is the 6.5 Creedmoor a good cartridge? Of course. Will most hunters see a big difference using it instead of other cartridges? Not in this lifetime.


[Edited to add...]
By my calculations a 6.5CM/130 JLK @ 2950fps beats a 7mm-08/168JLK @ 2650fps by a whopping 0.1" in drift at 400 yards. Exciting stuff. (yawn)

Sounds like you're a real expert on JLK bullets....you ever shot them?....thought so...


Luck....is the residue of design...
