Yep but I was talking shooting with the .2644 bullet. A lot skinnier and longer than say a .30 caliber bullet used in lets say the 308 Winchester round.

The 6.5 Creed gives excellent long range ballistics but the 308 and it are comparable out to about 500 yards.

Ballistics, yes; energy, no.

I prefer a 300 winmag for anything past about 700 yards, and a 50 BMG for anything past 1200.

Paper is fine for fun, but a rifle has to do some work once it gets there for anything else.
