Now you are contradicting yourself. Which is it, 6.5 bullets are better because the long, heavy VLD bullets have higher BCs or because the short, light bullets with lesser BCs can be driven faster? Using your latest logic the 6mm Creedmoor would be the ballistic superior to the 6.5 Creedmoor and the .22 Creedmoor is the ballistic superior to both. Why the .22 Creedmoor isn't dominating competition remains a mystery.
