6.5 Creedmoor: Heavy and Slow or Light and Fast

[lsuTigahs]

Heavy and slow all day (147/143 eld/eldx), that being said the 140 grain American Gunner was by far the best SD and group size I ever got from any rifle in 6.5. Insane how accurate that round was for the price.

After looking at my Hornady app, the 143/147's and 130's are within 50 fps of each other after 500, but the heavies don't pass the lighters up within the expansion window. Both hit 1800 fps between around 800-850 yards depending on muzzle velocities. For me that's plenty of range for hunting - unless you're wanting more "wallop" factor or wanting to push out to 1000 yards (which I am not ready to do).

Yep, duds will be fuds or whatever
They probably need to do some calcs on the mid range trajectory and wind calls

I was expecting a 156gr at 2700 vs 80gr at 3500 comparison.
