"Military use[edit]
In October 2017, U.S. Special Operations Command tested the performance of 7.62 NATO, .260 Remington, and 6.5 Creedmoor cartridges out of SR-25, M110A1, and Mk 20 sniper rifles. SOCOM determined that 6.5 Creedmoor performed the best, doubling hit probability at 1,000 meters, increasing effective range by nearly half, reducing wind drift by a third and having less recoil than 7.62 NATO rounds."
Would love to see that test redone with the 6.5 Grendel vs the .223, i'm guessing the comments would be nearly identical. .223 not legal for big game hunting here but the Grendel is, why choose anything else even for a dedicated predator rig, dial up them hangers, wife and kids go bang some deer too.

Why did you post that?
Do you realize the wide spread rage and disbelief you've unleashed? Doubling the hit probability??? So you're saying I don't need a 338 lapua to gut shoot an antelope, I can just shoot it in the lungs with a 6.5 Creedmoor and be done?
Huh...... what a concept.
