hornady has data on the 143 gr .625 bc for creedmoor at 2700 fps and nosler has data on the 142 gr .625 bc for about 3000-3200 fps so using 3100 fps you're difference is 400 fps minimum likely up to 500 fps...

in the calculator it's going to have a minimum impact velocity the same as the creedmoor but at least 300 yards further...

I always use the 1600 fps min impact velocity as a worst case max potential and the creedmoor goes 850 yards, the nosler 1150 yards...but you can compare other things too, pbr would be one to consider for your preferences and or you just like to smash things with higher than required velocities in normal ranges, and how much powder to burn to do either job etc.

hope that helps

p.s. if you like something in between those two then look at the 6.5 PRC, it's about 2900 fps with same bullet, and in a short action too
