Not knocking the Creed or Grendel. But I leave my 6.5x47 at home when I go elk hunting. I feel way more confident carrying my 300 Win Mag with 215 bergers. I’m getting into smaller calibers and the 6.5 is great. But everything has it’s limitations. Depends how far you shoot and placement trumps everything. I posted some numbers in your previous thread. Energy foot pounds isn’t even close when comparing a 6.5 130 gr to a 30 cal 215 gr. I got to run the 147 gr in my Sherman this winter. But again not a fair comparison to the Creed. I’ll drive the 147 around 3200 fps out of my Sherman. Will be impressive I think.
