Buddy of mine is getting 2800fps with 150gr SMK with 26" 7.5 twist 6.5 Creedmoor.
G7 BC is .355.....
This thread is about a military application of the cartridges, specifically within SOCOM.
I have also seen that I could load all of the 140gr class target bullets in my .260 Rem gasser before the 143 ELD-X, 147 ELD-M, and now 150gr SMK came out.
I think a 130gr HPBT and 121-122gr 855A1 style projectile make a lot of sense for the military 6.5mm application from larger case capacities.
It will be interesting to see if there is any fleet data to support one shoulder angle over another.
I originally thought 6.5CM would have more feeding issues, but have not seen that so far in my courses, but while somewhat wide and deep, it is still anecdotal evidence.
I've not had feeding issues with the .260 Remington so far.
