If 6.5 Creedmoor is a flatter shooting projectile why wouldn't it be better?

Same here in all common areas. I don't have to wear one at my desk though. In the field is dependent on my proximity to others.

Because you haven't defined what better is. What is your criteria for better? it could include numerous variables. Cost, ammo availability, penetration, recoil, FPS, muzzle energy, bullet weight, etc. etc.

Figure out what you want the round to do then compare them.

I could ask what's the better round the .45 ACP or the or the 12.7 x99. This question really depends on what I want the round to do. Am I gonna be a sniper or entering rooms?

Incompetent people piss me off, and I've talked to several already.

On hold. Again. I had nothing better to do today.

Not my AOR but want me to find you someone at the top? Might be slightly more competent.

So you have to be "connected" to get good Healthcare?

Is that how it works?

I just hung up on someone. I need to cool down a little before I get back on the phone again. I'm trying to get a critical prescription refilled (has to be shipped to the house under refrigeration and can't go to a pharmacy) and I've literally been on the phone with incompetent people four over 4 hours. It was easy under private insurance, but TRICARE seems to hire people who do nothing but pass the buck and point fingers. Disgusting to say the least.

Sorry to hear that Steve. I know army people who may know tricare people but I don’t have a direct in. I can try to find someone for you if you’d like.

I appreciate the offer Mark. I'm back on hold again. If that call doesn't go well I'm not sure what I'll do. If this is how TRICARE and any other government run healthcare works I want no part of it.

Sometimes we are so big we can’t get out of our own way. I try to specialize in individual customer service/support, like in the old days. I’m slow but I’m good. I know your issue is time sensitive so top down may not work anyway. Let me know if you want a name/number and I’ll find one.

Good luck.
