6.5 Creedmoor vs 308 Winchester: A Battle of Ballistic Coefficients
It really is that good.Military and LE Application
In October of 2017, US Special Operations Command (USSOCOM) tested the performance of the long-serving 7.62x51mm NATO against the 260 Remington and the 6.5 Creedmoor and the results are astounding to say the least! It was determined that military snipers using the 6.5 Creedmoor had DOUBLE the hit probability at 1000 meters.
Furthermore, they ascertained that the 6.5 Creedmoor:
Increased their shooters’ effective range by approximately 33%
Experienced 40% less wind drift
Had 30% less recoil
Delivered approximately 50% more kinetic energy to the target
