Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles Tired of the 6.5 Creedmore

I'm going to build a Creedmoor. I don't need/want a 6.5 Magnum of any kind.

Forget what it's called, or what the cool kids think of it. It's just a 6.5mm that fits in a svelt SA, is built on the 250 Savage case, blown out with a 30* shoulder. It's miserly with powder, and like its parent has mild recoil, killing out of proportion to its kick.

IMO, one of the finest cartridges of my 56 years. Really, it's about ideal for the average American hunter that shoots 20 shots a year. OR for the guy that shoots 2,000.

Scratching head here...
