[QUOTE="LouBoyd, post: 797100, member: 9253"] Since energy is proportional to mass time velocity squared your Creedmoor has 1.425 times the energy at the muzzle. Since the 130 Berger had a higher BC than the 123 Hornady that ratio becomes larger as the downrange distance increases. More important, with both the higher velocity and higher BC the 6.5 Creedmoor has significanlty less drop and wind deflection at all distances. Down sides of the 6.5 Creedmoor? Higher ammo cost and for the same barrel lenth and contour ad 6.5 CM will weigh about a pound more. Also the 6.5 CM gives more recoil. Threre's not much price difference between a DPMS LR-65CM and an AA Overwatch 6.5 Grendel. Of course you could say all of the above comparing a 7mm STW Rem 700 to a DPMS LR-65CM. [/QUOTE]
