This isn’t the first time the creedmoor has been compared to the win mag. The creedmoor, for SOCOM, over the 308 win doubles hit probability at 1000m, with 1/3rd the wind drift. You need to step up to the win mag to hang with it.
Most would think you should compare the 6.5 PRC to the 300 win mag...magnum vs magnum right? Naw, the prc walks the win mag badly. Add 200-225 yards to those distances and 2.3” less wind drift at 500. Reasons guys are raving about these 147’s at 700-1100 yrd elk performance it doesn’t get down to 1600 fps until 1300 yrds. Exact same sd as 200 gr 300 win mag. Penetration simply isn’t an issue...for either. Recoil on the other hand...
