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.

NOT contradicting myself at all..its as simple as comparing same vs different bullet weights..

You attempted to make a point that the 270 in a higher bullet weight was as good of a bc as the lighter grain bullet in a 6.5..MY point was/is thats an unfair comparison as in that you are attempting to stack the longer heavier bullet in the 270's column to match the bc of the 6.5..IF BOTH the 6.5 and 270 are 140 gr bullets the 6.5 wins every time...in both bc and sd, period..

Other point is the fact the lighter bullet will in fact have a higher mv..and with the already good bc/sd of a 6.5, the 270 in the higher weight would never make up the difference at its reduced mv..

Your comment of the 6 creedmoor and 22 creedmoor is just plain ignorant ..as they are much different bc/sd's than the 6.5 --so no, not superior...

No matter how you fry an egg its still an egg.. logic 101...

One thing the 270 does have going for it..its a great caliber for a younger person starting out or women. Low recoil and closer shots..will work great.. have at it
