Went shooting yesterday, used an old catalog for the target @ 100 yards. I didn't think the 6.5 Creedmoor would make it through, was pretty confident the .50 would.
Well..... the 6.5 made a much bigger exit hole than the .50 BMG.
Ammo:
6.5: Hornady 147 gr ELD Match
.50BMG Lake City 660 gr Ball
The 6.5 hole is the largest shredding on the top right.
The square on the bottom left is from an FN 5.7 round.
And the two dashed circles are centered on the .50 BMG rounds.
Anyone got a good explanation why the 6.5 produces a much larger exit?
