Shrapnel is so anti-6.5 Creedmoor that he's actually anti-6.5. No .260's or 6.5x55's for him, as long as the .257 Roberts is still around and it's difficult to find brass. (Being hard-to-get attracts him.) In fact, he found a partial box of 6.5mm bullets in his reloading room, and felt compelled to give it to me to detoxify his place.

50 years ago I could buy a Hot Wheels for 49¢ at Gibson's and be cooler. If I found any 6.5 bullets in n my junque I'd melt them down, cast real bullets then recylce the copper jackets. They give me the twitches like too much Tarantula juice. https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x1ylm6xPlease, watch the whole thing, it will make laugh on this glorious Saturday afternoon

Help me out Brad . . . what is a "scew?"
A skew (SKU) is a unique item on a retailers shelf (it has its own UPC code). So the 22 different 6.5 CM I mentioned are different boxes of 6.5 CM ammo... different makers, and bullet weights. It’s abbreviated SKU... “skew” is my half-assed shorthand Thanks. Got it!

Someone planted those bullets in my basement and you promised you wouldn't say anything about me finding them there...

I don't care one way or another about any 6.5. On a tangent, and as a professional writer in another life, I learned that any observation that takes more than three sentences is bullshit.
The only thing worse than a liberal is a liberal that thinks they're a conservative.

I bought a 6.5 Creedmoor for deer hunting. It’s fun at the range but sucks for deer hunting.

There's absolutely nothing wrong with old favorites designed nearly 100 years ago. I love shooting the .22 Hornet, .25-20 WCF, .32-20 WCF, .34-40 Krag, .30 Remington, .45-70, .405 Win and grand old .30-06. Brass can be a little hard to get hold of sometimes. I also love my 6.5 CM. Bought it on a spur of the moment in a Ruger RPF. Gun is kind of heavy, but shoots way above its pay-grade. Anybody who doesn't believe anything designed in the last 100 years can't be improved on with modern technology available today is not really thinking at all. I was going to say Racist, but that is starting to get on my own nerves.

That Racist thing was meant as a Democratic joke before anybody gets their pants in a twist.

I bought the 6.5 Creedmoor last year for deer hunting. I like it a lot. However, I hunted all fall with it last year and never got a shot at a buck. It was my first year in at least a dozen that I was skunked deer hunting and was also my first year hunting with the Creedmoor. Therefore, the Creedmoor sucks as a deer cartridge.

I have only experienced it on paper and I can confirm that it punches through. Mine seems to have been equipped with deer-repellent technology.

I been rich and I been poor and I been rich and I been poor.... and rich is better. - an old retired black boxer
I have rifles in 260 Rem and I have rifles in 6.5x55 Swede and I have rifles in 6.5-06...... and 6.5-06 is better. - an old retired white engineer With a 24"+ barrel, I can believe that. I love my 25-06. With a 22" or shorter barrel, I'd opt for a 260 or 6.5 Creedmoor.
