OK Ripp, I did as you suggested.
I went to Nosler's web site and I am looking at their numbers.
You should do the same.
It's interesting to look at their "Long Range Accu-Bonds"
Go look
+++++++++++++
Hate to break the news but I looked before I posted my info..
YOU stated there were NO hunting bullets avallable in the 6.5 with a bc over .500 which was completely untrue.. the 129gr AB-LR has at .561..that at 129 grs-- it takes a 270 caliber to go to 150 grs to beat that..hardly an apple for apple comparison..
In the standard AB-- 140 6.5--sd 287--bc 509---compared to the 270..sd 261 bc 496
OR use the highly praised "do it all" Nosler Partition...140 gr bullets.
6.5 SD 287 BC 490
270 SD 261 BC 432
Have often heard the 130 gr is the go to bullet in a 270..
lets compare in the Nosler AB
6.5 SD 266 BC 488
270 SD 242 BC 435
Again..no comparison...
Same with the Berger I gave my earlier eample on..not only does it smoke the same gr bullet -6.5 vs 270 or 6.8...it also smokes it in SD..another very important component in long range shooting..
It even takes the mightly 30 calibers to go to 200 grains in order to beat the sd of the 6.5 at 140--the 30 cal 180's dont match it in SD or BC...
I stick to my original statement--the 6.5 is ballistically superior to the 270 Winchester...when its compared apples for apples...
Seems weird..if the .270 was such a ballistic miracle, why isnt it used in long range compeition like the 6.5/284 is?? weird...
