But there is also an objective element where we can determine and compare the qualities and attributes of a particular choice against another.
I suppose I'm mostly drawn to the objective assessments and comparisons, and factual information,
but I understand that other guys may come here to discuss preferences and taste. That's probably why some of us try to stick to facts and data, while others get emotional and take/give offense.
Jordan, I am not being smart, hateful, or critical. Here's but a sample of the 'facts' or 'data' contained in this discussion.
[quote=jwall][quote=Riflehunter]I ran the figures for the 6.5 CM 147 grain moly-coated match projectile using the temperature stable load of H4350 mentioned earlier by Jordan
Sighted in 3" high at 100 yards it drops at 350 yards 10.1" ...10 mph drift 6.3".
The .270 140 grain TGK hunting bullet drops 5.8" drift 7.7", the .270 130 grain Classic Hunter Berger at 3100 drops 5.1"... drift 7.4".
So the .270 has far less drop (4.3" and 5") with the hunting bullets mentioned than the 147 grain match bullet in 6.5, but the 6.5 147g match bullet has 1.4" less wind drift than the 140 Tipped GameKing and 1.1" less wind-drift than the .270 Berger 130 Classic Hunter.
...The .270 bullet also has 10% more cross-sectional area for a bigger wound channel.
These numbers 'prove' the relationship between the 6.5 C vs.270 Win. out to 350/400 yds.
I also posted that is has been demonstrated (in an earlier thread) that it takes + 500 yds for the 6.5 C to CATCH the
trajectory of the 270 Win.
I feel that some need to know FACTS and DATA in the real world. I repeat, " I will take a 400 yd advantage every day".
No offense is intended nor implied.
