I noticed the new world record 1000 yard bench-rest record for small group has been set by a 6 B.R. ? BR Improved....... There has been multiple records set with a 6BR Gibbs as well......better know as a 6 Dasher....... yep your right improved ,but it still wasn`t the new mighty koolaid cartridge > Creedmoor 6.5 Maybe the thing to take away from this was it was a smallish cartridge similar in "mildness" to the Creedmore, rather than a boomer.

I asked Alpha to please do a run of 6.5 Creedmore brass.
Bob said no way.
I bet Peterson would do it, if they haven't already.
It does crack me up how many guys were worried about that record being set with a Creedmoor.
Aint even in the running.
Screw you! I'm voting for Trump again!

no Creedmoors here yet at my house. I have two 6.5x284 Norma`s both shoot lights out ,also have two 264 win.mag.s in pre 64 Winchesters I see no reason yet to shoot slower bullets ? I think maybe someday 26 Nosler would be nice to own ? Yep. JB wrote that he sold his .264 WM, bought the 26 Nosler he was testing. I have a 26 Nos, 6.5-284, Swede and Creed. All with premium barrels, all shoot good. But, I find myself using my 7-08 as a go to WT and hog gun...  But, as a Loony, everything is subject to change. DF

I've heard that before on the innanet. So I won't even attempt the feat. I'll use the PRC, instead. It is kinda like a magnum. And EVERYBODY knows you need magnums for elk.

If you got one would you crap more? Or would your sh** just not stink?

I just bought a new Bergara 6.5 CM and was going to post my initial groups with reloads. After reading some of the posts I decided not to. I'll just grin and take them to bed with me.

It is irrelevant what you think. What matters is the TRUTH.
