[QUOTE="46and2, post: 2708282, member: 29622"] Not trying to call you out or anything, but my admittedly not-in-depth research disagrees. At 300 yards, a 120gr Hornady 6.5 creedmoor A-MAX has 500 more lb-ft of energy than a 120gr 6.8 SST. It also has 3" less drop. The difference is tilted more towards the creedmoor the farther out you go. Even a 123gr SST 6.5 Grendel has almost 400 lb-ft more energy at 300 yards and ~2" less drop than the 6.8 SPC. I know those weights and bullet types are not exactly the same, but I think they are reasonably close. I agree that 6.8 SPC uppers, mags, etc are more available, I think there's no doubt about that. But ballistics wise, it appears 6.5 Creedmoor > 6.5 Grendel > 6.8 SPC.
