A 270 with a 24” barrel isn’t to far off a 7mm Rem Mag

Watched a video about month ago. A guy was shooting into steel a steel gong 300 yards. He was measuring which caliber left the deepest divot in the the gong. He shot a 50 BMG, a .338 Lapua Magnum, a .338 Win Mag, a 30'06, a 270, a 6.5x55, a 6.5 Creed and a .243. I'm certain there are calibers I forgot. What I remember is that the 50 BMG won the divot depth, but just shortly behind the 50 BMG was the .243. THe 50 and the 243 penetrated the gong significantly more than the other cartridges. Bullet weight, construction and velocity of each round was not disclosed. Kinda interesting.

If you're shooting at mild steel a 22-250 will ball out more of a crater than a 30-06.

No telling what ASTM standards the A-TEAM’s van was clad in.

Did it matter? Nobody on either side of a conflict on that show could hit anything anyway.

Sorry, your guns are worthless...I can take them to properly dispose of them for you...

Not really because Hannibal looked badass with that stainless folding stock mini 14

You laugh,

But according to some experts it is the







Goldilocks' solution to every rifleman's needs.



I think I'll stick with the ones I already have unless I run into some "extra cash".

Just looked at the specs....ain't that a 260?

Exactly.

And the 6.5x55 is a bit more than that.

And the 6.5-06 a bit more than that.

And the .264 Win Mag a bit more than that.



I like the high SD of 140 grain, 6.5mm bullets for ballistics purposes, but at 400 yard and closer hunting ranges, a 100 grain spitzer in a .257 Roberts kills deer just as dead, just as easily.

Not that I'm an expert or anything even close but I see most of these people who tout the 6.5 creed, 6.5 Grendel don't know schit about firearms, calibers, or ballistics.

I know a guy who has a 6.5 creed and it's an amazing weapon, caliber has only a small part to do with it.

You need a 300 Win mag minimum

I'm with you.......My 30-30 and 38-55 is no more effective these days for deer than a BB gun. I think I'll just use them for 4th of July and News Years noise makers.

The 6.5CM is as good (or better) than a long list of "deer" cartridges we use all the time.

Saying that, I won't be selling my 275 Roberts or 275 Rigby anytime soon and buying one..

The best thing about the 6.5 creed is that it spawned the 22 and 6mm creed .

Just as with O'Connor's fight to legitimize the good .270, the Creedmoor has had a tough time. Truth tell there are many great cartridges and just about any of them will down a deer. Probably more deer have been killed with the 22 than any other over the years. The one that's best is up to the guy pulling the trigger. One thing's for sure, we'll be bitching about which is better till the end of time.

The last person I saw at the range shooting a 6.5 C had a man bun. Just sayin’.

Is the 6CM ok? ...... Asking for a friend.

I think so as long as you don’t have a scope that looks like the Hubble Telescope sitting on top.

You think so?

I would say the CM has had nearly universal acceptance...from the start.
