Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire I Have Had My Fill of Creedtards

Don't forget packaging for short actions (maybe not important for everyone) and standardization of dimensions. Being a modern cartridge it isn't saddled with the dimensional variations in chambering/throating that some older cartridges are, 7mm08 vs 7x57 being another prime example of the situation.

I see the 6.5 Creedmoor as providing easy access to a widely useful level of ballistics and precision. That there may be a legion of asshats spouting BS about its mystical powers won't put me off of it.

LMAO, i'll plot a middle spot betwinxt you and sock puppet, first one there can have it.

Yea I know! I am actually on a lot of these forums in order to learn what I can. Weird, I know!!

Spoken like someone holding on to the past. The 6.5X55 is so last century. It's old, boring, and of little value with the 'creed on the market. Folks need to just give them away while they can.

In the spirit of brotherhood, I'll take the old dated things off the hands of those who are ready to step into the modern world. Will send my FFL's address to those needing to unload them.

All the above, if you're going to invent something new, climb to the top of Mt. Fuggin-Fujifakka and scream it's praises, .

great idea Geno, feelings............................................................................................................

Nope, I think we need a draw straws thing, or maybe a riddle contest to pick the winner. Just because I was doing something productive for a few minutes and missed asking for the opportunity to relieve you of such a dog of a rifle, I feel I shouldn't be left out of the field.

PS I hear "feelings" are all the rage nowadays, so I let mine be known.

You've always been all heart, sock, a true credit to the Campfire.

We need an annual SockPuppet Humanitarian Award.

The line is growing long Mathman ; ]

Somewhere in Organ, I think T

I bought my first 6.5 Creedmoor many years ago before the chambering developed a cult following. As its cult status has developed and gained momentum, so too have the legions of idiots that rally around it. Seems everywhere I go there are fawning sycophantic roundmouths spewing bile about it. It has really gotten so bad that I have divested myself of all three of the 6.5 Creedmoors I had previously enjoyed.

I know that sounds extreme, but in casual conversation with some decent, educated rifle loonies I'd mention my Creedmoors. The look of abject fear on their faces said it all. A good chat would come to an uncomfortable close. They'd switch topics. They'd pull out their cell phones and pretend they had an urgent text. A look on their face would say "Dear God, please don't let this guy talk to me."

I was standing at the gun counter in Cabelas asking to see the Tikka T3X in 6.5 Creedmoor. The counter clerk immediately begins telling me about what an awesome 1000 yard caliber it is. I asked him if there seemed to be a lot of demand in our area for 1000 yard deer rifles. He was prepared. He mentioned a few power lines and gas lines a couple parishes away, saying that with a good Vortex Strike Eagle you could dial the drop right in to connect. I asked how much a 140 grain bullet would drift in a 10 MPH crosswind over the course of the 1000 yard flight. He he stuttered and stammered a bit before muttering something unintelligible, then turned his attention to a skinny jeans wearing 20 something year old with a Grizzly Adams beard and a man bun who had walked up and stood close enough that his flannel shirt was touching me. Their conversation started with Mr. man bun remarking that he had heard the 6.5 Creedmoor was the flattest shooting round ever developed. That was months ago. They are probably still talking.

It's everywhere. The lunacy is pervasive and contagious. Last night on Facebook my bud posted a pic of a 3 shot group he'd fired with his new 257 Weatherby. He had sighted it in 2 inches high at 100. Never mentioned what bullet, what bullet weight, whether or not it was a handload or what velocity. Not that it really matters relative to the Creedfag's comments that followed. Here are the Creedmagic fan club member's comments for you to enjoy.

"2 inches high at 100 yards would make it way high at 300 yards. Should have bought a 6.5 creedmoor"

My bud responded by posting a trajectory table with a 200 yard zero. That elicited this this jewel:

"I have shot mine over 1000 yards. Not worried about ballistics."

The guy was serious too. Sadly his affliction is not at all uncommon. I can only pray that the cockweasles don't start rallying around the 6.5 PRC.

Maybe. I am always open to learning. Actually I would invite that evidence. I do confess that I do have ideas and opinions, but I am not stuck to my opinions to the point that I will hang on to them even in the face of evidence that goes contrary to my opinion.

Thank you good sir! Would the winner get 'Creed and a new outfit like this?
