rickt300,

I have considerable field experience with various "moderate" 6.5mm cartridges, including not only the dreaded Creedmoor, but the 6.5x55 and .260 Remington. Also have a LOT of experience with the .270 Winchester, and have yet to see any difference in either "killing power" or penetration between the moderate 6.5s and the .270 when using the same types of bullets. But whatever....
