Thread: 6.5 Creedmoor? whats everyones thoughts? on hunting performance

Not really, my own and a few others i know of happily push a 143gr ELDX along at 2800+. Mine does 2920 with a stiff load of RL26. But sure, even if we knock 100 off the creedmoor and add 100 on the .270, Theres still not a huge advantage going with something like a .270 win by the time you account for the better BC of the 6.5 Projectiles, With the added bonus of less recoil and less powder burnt which was my point from the beginning.

Is does the .270 have more power and capability as a handloader compared to 6.5 Creed? Absolutely. But for the average joe buying ammo off the shelf and shooting an off the shelf rifle, theres next to nothing in it.
