It is silly to run a 6.5 mm bullet more than about 3100 or so when you can step up to a 7mm with the infinitely better bullets- this coming from a hard-core 6.5 shooter. 6.5-284, 6.5-06 and similar are about all you should do with this caliber. A 7WSM is a shoulder better in performance than a 6.5-284 if you can stand the recoil.
The 6.5-284 and 260AI are very easy to get to shoot well. Never fired a Creedmoor but it's probably great too. Been working with a 6.5x47L and it is a real dog. Too bad.
Say it taint so Joe. The 264 WM Woodleigh 160gr PPSN at 3261fps runs circles over any 7mm Rem Mag. Or you can go to the 6.5Pro and hit 3500fps with the 160gr bullet.
