Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Long Range Hunting 6.5 Crapmore

Stirring the pot this AM? Shame on you.

I just received a phone call from Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. She believes the Creed is just a flash in the pan and will soon be replaced by the 6.5x257, due to the better design of the parent 257 case.

Take it to the bank, get in on the bottom—thank me later!

Huh, I'd have thought she'd have predicted the 7x57 will make a come back.

Not on purpose of course......

Actually it's entertainment value is to compare the early prognosticators of the Crapmore to the current 6.5 PRC.

Everyone should have at least two Creedmoor rifles!!

Of course...:)

Tis hard to keep up with it all...

Skeen, guys will be retubing those 7x57s once the word is out...

This one cracked me up.

All the posts on those old threads deriding the CM were right! It's a flash in the pan. Gonna fizzle. Any day now. I'll wait.

That one brought a smile to my face as well.

I’ve got two of them. A Tikka T3X and an AR10. Awesome cartridge for me and easy to load for. Thinking it’ll stick

This is what the 260 Rem can do with one shot with a Barnes 120gr TSX. Many more elk taken with this cartridge years before the CM came out.

That is a beautiful animal. Like they say, the animal was not aware of the headstamp.
I don't know why people are balled up about this stuff.

So......like......270's don't work anymore?

The 270 works mo betta...it's mo bigga...

if the 7x57 will gitter done the 270 will gitter mo done, being the only actual 7mm caliber out there.

Nope...just a matter of time before it goes the way of it's parent, which has become obsolete in the past few years. Oh...and it's gay.

My 260 Rem takes elk year after year with the Barnes 120gr TSX. The 270 with Barnes 130gr TSX also works fine. So does the 7-08 & the 140gr Barnes TSX, What it is about is a tough deep penetrating bullet properly placed. The 260 with the proper bullet will take any game the 270 will. The 270 is an excellent cartridge, so is the 260 Rem. What I like about the 260 is the light recoil , & it gets the job done. Have taken many elk over the years with the 338Mag, 300Mags, & 7mags.. I just got fed up with the recoil. Since I went to the 6.5 I have never lost an elk or ever recovered a Barnes120gr TSX. . Every one has been a complete pass thru. It works. Those willing to give a 6.5 a try I believe will be pleased. It makes no difference If it is a 260 Rem or 6.5CM.The 260 hold about 1.5grs more powder than the CM. Over my chrono with the Barnes 120gr TSX the 260 ( 22" Bbl for both ) beats the CM by about 60 to 70 fps. No bog deal . Understand the CM was designed to be shorter to better function thru an AR type action. The name Creedmoor is just that . A name designed to sell the round. It has no relationship to a Creedmoor match. It is in reality a 260 short..I use the 260 Rem because I started out years before Rem brought it out with a 6.5x308 wild cat.It was a normal transitions to the Rem 260.

You are absolutely correct. You point is right on.......
