Really? What handgun(s) fire at more than 2,700-3,100 fps? Not saying they don’t exist, but I’ve never heard of them if they do.
I had factory Wolf 6.5 Grendel (100 gr, steel case) split the case in the bolt action chamber. It was difficult to extract from my CZ 527. On the other side, I reloaded lots of .357mag in a mix of brass and nickel plated "brass". I discovered the nickel plated brass work hardens. It often fails with a bunch of splits. Black smoke and a bullet left in the barrel. I bring a small wood dowel to tap those out.
I scored a T/C Contender with a 30-30 barrel (8 inch). It has a vicious recoil. I use the frame for more tame rounds like 22LR, 9mm.
Remember the Liberal Rules of Truth:
1. Truth is whatever serves the Party.
2. If you repeat something often enough, it becomes true.
3. If the facts contradict the narrative, the facts lie.
The 6.5 Creedmoor is used for long distance target competition. Hornady discovered that their early polymer tipped bullets were tumbling about 1000 ft downrange based on radar tracking. The polymer tip was melting and trashing the ballistics. A new formulation (ELD) was created to fix the problem. No more melting and hitting consistently at 1,000 yards.

Yes, but Biden’s outrageous stated speed was approximately the de-orbiting speed of a Space Shuttle!................
Respectfully, I believe you’re over thinking it.
They say it because one, someone told them to say it, and their just too stupid and ignorant about guns to know better. Also, they want to make guns sound as scary as possible, and they know their audience is also stupid and ignorant about guns in general, and further, they know that they will not be called out on it in any significant way that will get through to the ignorant.
My AR now identifies as s cap pistol.
Um, you meant .32 cal. Balls, right?
That’s what OO buck is. But .22LR hollow points, if they perform properly, mushroom to ~1.5 calibers....33 inches. The .22 slugs are somewhat faster, but a but lighter. I’m just saying that the shot load performs like multiple .22 LR rounds. And the .22 accounts for many, many deer, though it’s not a legal hunting round.
Okay. Wasn’t looking at the impact size.
Yup. The latest BS just floated in via my Twitter feed from Jim Risch. US Fish & Wildlife and BLM are conspiring to ban use of traditional lead ammunition and fishing weights on "public" lands. That's going to make ammo extremely hard to find, extremely expensive and much less effective.
I pick up old tire weights I find on the road. That lead will be priceless soon...................
