Was visiting a major sporting goods retailer yesterday (recently acquired by another Industry Giant) and noticed hornady loaded 6.5 Creedmore with 120 Grain ELD match and the 6.5 Grendel was loaded with 123 Grain ELD Match. Wow running production of 2 bullets 3 grains apart. The details from the Hornady web site
120 Gr ELD Match
Item Number
26175
Ballistic Coefficient (G1)
.486
Ballistic Coefficient (G7)
.245
Sectional Density
.246
123 ELD Match
Item Number
26176
Ballistic Coefficient (G1)
.506
Ballistic Coefficient (G7)
.255
Sectional Density
.252
Has anyone actually got their hands on these 2 bullets that can explain what the difference is? I also wonder why the 120 is loaded in the Creedmoor and the 120 is loaded in the Grendel, other than the obvious .01 better G7 ballistic coefficient for the 123, based on that number one would think the 123 would also be loaded in the Creedmoor.
