...and they have various Concealed Carry License testing groups that operate out of their nice “on-range” training building right behind the long distance range.
So you can sit in a nice air conditioned environment while a fellow with top experience goes over AZ requirements and refresher training and then go a 1/4 mile east to the handgun range and get the live fire portion completed all in one short morning.
My experience with 6.5s stems from the Swedish Mauser bolt action rifles in 6.5x55. The ballistics on the 6.5 Creedmoor do not look to be that much different from the 6.5x55. I found the “Swede” to be accurate at ranges out to 600 yards with a very moderate recoil. Of course, the high quality of the Swedish-built rifles helped, too.
6.5 Grendel in the M16 and SAW and 6.5 creedmoor for the squad marksmen, snipers and medium/heavy machine guns. The 50 BMG is timeless
Long 6.5 bullets would also handle wind better.
Not hardly. There is no comparison. A 140 grain 6.5 will shoot flatter, buck the wind better and retain velocity better than a .30 168 grain that leaves at the same speed.
1000 yard benchrest competition is dominated by various 6.5mm and 6mm fast twist cartridges because of their ballistic advantage.
Here’s a good article on the two cartridges.
