That beats a 0.277 Badlands, 0.710 BC at 3000fps how?
It doesn't, it can't make up the speed and BC difference. The Creed will lose out in everything except for shootability. He's just trolling to see what he can catch for fun.
I've watched a kid that grew up hunting with my daughter shoot his first bull elk with the Creed and factory ELDX loads at 450 yards. It killed the elk with no problems. He's 21 now and that's the only bolt rifle he owns larger than .22-250, and he's been real reliable with it since he started with it nine years ago.
I don't currently own a 6.5 anything, but I've got a nice HVA 1600 action tucked away just begging to become a 6.5X55. However, the .270 Win was my first BGR larger than .243 and reardless of bullets I've used, that.277 caliber has never let me down if I've done my part. Inside 600 yds bullets don't matter much if you put them where they belong.
