[QUOTE="RockyMtnMT, post: 1391212, member: 7999"] In this comparison the the Creed has a .8" advantage for wind at 400y and 2.2" at 600y. At 600y this would amount to 1 click of wind. So I thought while we are at this comparison of the Great Creed to the lowly 25-06 I would go ahead and run the numbers for each of them with 100g Partitions. The Creed would run them at 3270fps and the '06 at 3360fps. At 400y the Creed has 20.3" of drop and 14.1" of drift. The '06 has 17.7" of drop and 11.4" of drift. At 600y the Creed has 68" of drop and 35.2" of drift. The '06 has 58.2" of drop and 28" of drift. That gives the '06 a wind advantage of 7.2" or 1.25moa. This would be as apples to apples as these two cartridges can be compared. The only way the Creed will ever keep up with the 25-06 is if you convert it into a 6.5-06. :eek: No matter how you slice it, it is a smaller cartridge. A good comparison would be to compare the 260rem to the Creed. Steve [/QUOTE]
