[QUOTE="k4ylr, post: 3180573, member: 40231"] You get a short action, less recoil and much better BC in bullet selection. [URL='http://precisionrifleblog.com/2013/07/16/6-5-creedmoor-barrel-length-and-muzzle-velocity/']Here's almost everything you could possibly want to know about 6.5 velocities and barrel length.[/URL] FWIW I loaded 147gr ELD-Ms on Reloader 16 to 2750fps out of my 24" Proof barrel. I stay supersonic out to 1500 yards and need 8 mils to hit 1000 yards. Conversely, a 120gr ELDM doing ~3000fps only stays super out to 1000 yards and needs another .7 mils to get there. Not to mention you'll be fighting the wind with the 120s. I don't think you can go wrong going 6.5 creedmoor with the availability of factory ammo options. Savage, Bergara, Howa, Ruger, Tikka etc... all make awesome factory options chambered in 6.5. [/QUOTE]
