Now, today, is my first time to read any of this thread. It's raining here.... bored.

You don't get anything much until you get to ranges most of us don't shoot, and fewer of us should shoot at game . . .!
and then HawkI said here on P 3
It's exactly what some of those who don't guffaw over the Creedmoor have stated; most hunters or shooters wont and can't use it to any greater advantage than a 25/06 or 270 and going to lighter bullets for less recoil isn't going to make two bits worth under the ranges most are comfortable with.
These summarize my position on Xtr Hi BCs, even at moderate velocities. Even when I hunted deer leases there were FEW places to get a
decent shot past 400 yds. Yes, I saw deer at 500 & + yds but they were moving and there were bushes, saplings etc that precluded an UNobstructed target.Since 2012 I hunt property where I could/can get an OPEN shot
up to 400 yds.....SO, what advantage is it to me... and Gun Doc & Hawk hit the nail on the head about MANY of us hunters.
I like and appreciate the 6.5-06 but it doesn't fill any gap that I have.
