Here's what Finn Aagaard had to say about the penetration of the 6.5x55 vs the 30-06 in his excellent
Hunting Rifles & Cartridges.In the test, the 140's from the 6.5x55 were loaded at 2,700 fps. Right where the 6.5 Creedmoor lives.
Finn doesn't list the 30-06/180 speed, but based on his extensive writing about that round, I think it's safe to assume 2,750 fps +/-
