Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire 260 Rem vs 6.5 Creedmoor

Even Mule deer will hafta agree on that one

Holy Bull Splatter Batman 🤮🤮

It costs a whole dollar to be cool?.....

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.

America and its first world problems

Throw your rifle in your truck , uncased, drive into town and buy 5 different manufacturers boxes of 6.5 creed at Walmart , get your fishing license, a hot dog, a couple of bottles of wine, a six pack of good ipa micro brew, a ham, good dark Swiss chocolate, Korean chili paste, fill your prescription for viagra, good Mexican tortillas, 4 new tires for your truck, and some tampons , a deep cell battery for your boat, and drive a few miles outside of town and shoot those 100 rounds on public land or yournland

Name one other country you can do this

Sheesh

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.

Please, watch the whole thing, it will make laugh on this glorious Saturday afternoon

Thanks. Got it!

John,

That is total BS. 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.

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

Why?

Seriously?

It will punch a hole through paper, but bounce off a deer.

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.

Phew, i was gettin ready to go the f&%k off for a minute there.

I forgot that I had posted that without explanation. 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.

Haha, that's entirely possible. 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.

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.
