[QUOTE="timberelk, post: 1411620, member: 100952"] I’m advising a buddy on the above topic and wanted your guys thoughts... Would you pick up a 6.5 Creed with a 22”-24” barrel and hot rod it to get around 2700 FPS with a 140 grain or load a 270 win at the low end so it produces around 2750 FPS with a 140 grain? This rifle will be used for western hunting and the goal is approx 2000 FPS and 1250 FT LBS at 500. Both calibers hit those numbers at 500 yards but the recoil from the 270 is approx 2-3 pounds more vs the 13 lbs of recoil from the 6.5 with a 7lb gun. Cost of reloading and brass life are also important. [/QUOTE]
