Haha, don’t cherry pick now. The 6.5 rules the 140s.
If you like your 7-08, keep your 7-08. But the 6.5 Creedmoor can do what it does and more.
Not trying to get in a pi$$ing match, I’m a 7mm-08 homer, but how significant is the difference? Especially with the 140s. On paper it looks like a slightly better BC going quite a bit slower.
Edit to add: I went to Hornady’s online ballistics calculator. Based on the inputs from my earlier post, the 6.5 never catches up (out to 1,000 yards, at least) to the 7mm-08.
Unless I’m missing something, which is eminently possible.
