Hahaha, your video had me laughing pretty hard!
I'm not a 6.5 fanboy and I'd certainly rather have 270 for elk but I think it's worth mentioning that Hornady Superformance specializes in SPEED and claims it's 100-200fps faster than other factory loads. That gave it an unfair advantage when crunching the numbers, if you subtract 200fps and then do the math they're a bit closer.
Advantage to 6.5 (as you said) is less recoil for shooters sensitive to it, longer barrel life and easier to spot your misses/hits.
I'd rather have a 270 in the woods and 6.5 at the range, if I could only have one rifle 270 wins easily because I love hunting. Superformance skews the numbers though.
Regardless, video was awesome, informative and had me laughing out loud, thanks!
