It would appear that the 6.5 Creedmore vs the .260 Remington, is analogous to the .243 vs the 6mm Remington.


That thought occurs to me every time the 6.5 Creedmoor comes up.

I'll stick with my 6.5-06AI for long range work but did buy a used ($295 out the door!) Savage FXP3 in .243 Win with the intent to re-barrel to 6.5 Creedmoor. Thought it would be a good rifle for my girls, who all want to steal my .257 Roberts. Made the mistake of shooting the donor and am now looking for another cheap Savage.

If I find a long-action Savage first, it will be a 6.5-06 instead.

No, I'm not a Ruger bigot - just an unabashed fan of their revolvers, M77's and #1's.

A good .30-06 is a 99% solution.
