6.5mm Creedmore making headway in SOCOM?

If this is accurate, it’s happening quicker than I would have thought. But is this a fair comparison of 6.5mm vs 7.62x51mm?:

“Top special operations snipers will replace their 7.62mm sniper rifles with a caliber that doubles their hit probability at 1,000 meters, increases their effective range by nearly half, reduces wind drift by a third and has less recoil.”
