6.5 Creedmoor: Heavy and Slow or Light and Fast

[wind gypsy]

I've run the 147 in competition some, and a bunch more in casual shooting, practice, and hunting, and the published G7 has worked well for me out to 1600+ meters.

There are 3 published G7s, are you saying you're using the 0.35 g7 to 1600 meters?

Yessir. For the lots of bullets I’m using, and in my barrels, an average G7 value of 0.351 has worked very well. BC obviously depends on multiple variables, including the engraving/deformation caused by individual barrels, so drag profiles vary.

Between the CM & 260, I've killed a handful with the 130's AB & ELDm. Also the 120 BT and 135 CH. This year I'm packing the 130 TMK. Someday I'll try the 147, or maybe not.
