but I'll just note that the 6.5 Creedmoor does NOT just have an advantage beyond 600 yards. High-BC 140-147's in the Creedmoor started at 2750 catch up to typical 140 softpoints started at 3000 in the .270 at 300 yards--and drift less in the wind at any range.
While that is actually correct as stated, it's somewhat disingenuous & not exactly apples to apples, in making a comparison with a High-BC 140-147 in the Creedmoor to a 140 softpoint in the 270.
But using a 143 Hornady ELD-X in the Creed & a 145 Hornady ELD-X in the 270 at your stated velocities, & a 200 yd zero, JBM shows less drop for the 270 at 1,000 & a whopping 0.4 MOA more windrift in a 10 MPH, 90* wind than the Creed.
And the 270's velocity is still higher at the 1,000 yard mark.
Or run the 150 Nosler LRAB at 2950 in the 270 & the results are still the same.
The Creed is a nice round & I like it & it has a lot of pluses in it's favor, but given better bullets in the 270, there's just no real performance difference from a ballistics standpoint according to the ballistic gack data that I see when making a fair comparison.
