If the math hurts then by all means find any way to attack the teacher. Because that will change reality lol.
Sigh! I’m actually a big fan of 6.5 projectiles launched from mild mannered cartridges, not a magnum guy at all. And I agree with you on many points.
If you think a 6.5 cm can out run a 300 wm then you are skewing things.
A 300 wm can move a 210gn Berger at just over 3k. A 140 Berger (or eldx) 6.5 bullet at around 2800 will not touch that. The only advantage would be felt recoil if you actually compare apples to apples.
And reality? Well the reality is that people are getting tired of being beat over the head with the Creedmoor bible by the self appointed teachers and defenders of all things 6.5.
If you want to convince people share posts of some good targets of short and long range work. Show some chrony data with low ES, and show some successful results from hunts. The rest of it is just exhausting.
