It retains greater terminal energy at extended ranges than either of these cartridges due to its higher ballistic coefficient (BC). [2] For example, the 123 gr (8.0 g) 6.5 mm Grendel bullet has more kinetic energy and better body armor penetration at 1,000 m (1,100 yd) than the larger and heavier 147 gr (9.5 g) bullet of the M80 7.62mm NATO round.
While ballistic performance was as expected, consumer acceptance was low and the round has not achieved commercial success. [4] The 6.5mm Creedmoor cartridge was created by necking down the .30 Thompson Center, and has achieved widespread popularity. [5] [6]
