Is there anything the 6.5 Crredmoor or 260 Rem.can do better than a 6.5X55 in a modern rifle like a Sako ?Is it just a loony thing.Scandanvians have been using the 6.5X55 for rifle matches forever.Huntz
I think the 6.5x55 is the Looney thing.
Read above: the throat differences, action differences, twist differences, brass variations. Plenty to Looney and obsess over.
260 just poorly executed
Creedmoor is done proper. Not very looneyish though. Buy a rifle, buy factory ammunition and go shoot. That is why it is hitting it out of the park. Not everyone wants to be a Looney.
My Bergera HMR rifle is shooting sub moa 5 shot groups with handloaded Hornady 143gr ELD-X at 2715fps. I probably could have saved the trouble and tried the factory Hornady Precision Hunter ammo, but every gunshop I have visited in the last month had an empty spot on their shelf.
