It’s not a 260 and not about case capacity…JFC

5.5 Creed enthusiasts

I remember (years ago) reading that a 30-06 was to light for Deer !

^^^^^^^^^^^^^

.270 meets 6.5 CM….. LMAO

Exactly.

It’s about twist rate, shoulder angle, being able to fit a heavy for caliber bullet in a short action magazine ect. Lots of bubbas can’t see past deer huntin’ as the end all be all of firearm and cartridge purposes lol

The 6.5 CM kills stuff.



It will even kill elk (if you can shoot) :









But then so will a .300 WM




Or a .308:





or even a .45 ACP when you pop em in the noggin:





Arguing and complaining about this stuff is like arguing if it is wetter underwater when it rains.

There is some nice country to see.

Just got back from 5 days in the mountains. It beat looking at a computer screen and reading complaints about how the sky is falling, who is a homo, and the usual old man complaints about literally everything.

Yes, Bambi was a people. I remembering him talking like any ordinary person.

I sold my speedmeier after determining it didn't do anything I couldn't already do with my 243AI or 308.

Well said Mackay.

Lol. I think some folks aren't happy unless they are miserable....

No, it's about twist rate. Remington marketing failed badly when they neglected their history lessons over the 244 vs 243 vs 6 mm.

Had the 260 been introduced with a 7 inch twist to stabilize everything from 100 gr spitzers through a 155 gr VLD, the 6.5 Creed would not exist. Rem finally got it almost right with the 5R in 260. Too bad they did not fit it with a Wyatt's box at the factory.

some of the stupidest people I ran into at the range or overheard at the LGS were Creediot gundummies

they are even dummer than the AR tards


......

I don't have a .270, but I do have a 6.5 Creedmoor. I also have a trusty .308, a .338, a 9mm, a .45, a .5.56, a .300 BLK, a 22, etc. They each have their place and honestly who cares what people shoot as long as it goes bang and drops prey? Let people own whatever they want. I still have no idea where this obsession comes from about what other people shoot.

I like the 6.5cm for target shooting but for hunting I want something else. Granted I had only shot 1 mule deer doe, but wasn't impressed with the performance. I shot her at approx. 90 yards and hit her behind the leg in the lung area with a 143 eld x. She immediately bolted about 70 yards in the field and stopped. I fired again dropping her. As I walked towards her, I saw her with her head up looking around. I put a 3rd shot into her and finally she was down for good. I have never experienced this situation with another cartridge for a deer size animal.

My grandma called it “misery loves company”.

I set up a Thompson Center Compass chambered in 6.5 CM for my lovely Bride to hunt Whitetail Deer. I mounted a Leupold VX-3i 4.5-14x40mm scope on it. It shoots consistently 1 MOA, often tighter. Is that scope too close to a Hubble Telescope?

It's a VXIII 4.5x14 B&C. Big enough for a heavy sporter.

Hornady factory 103s.

You missed the point.

Ballistically, it is essentially identical to the the 260 Remington, which was around for decades as the 6.5-308 wildcat and known by several other names. It was standardized by Remington in the late '90s.

Creedmore fanboys seem to think that the shape of the case is somehow magical compared to other cases of similar capacity.

Whatever.

1. Never heard anyone say it's better than all others.Have heard others insist they have.
2. Never heard anyone say it's the best or the only solution. Have heard others insist they have.
3. Never heard anyone give a convincing argument its no damned good. Yet have heard nonsensical attempts.
4. Have heard dozens of guys whine and bitch about it totally out of the blue like it has really affected them.
5. No man bun, no flat brim cap and did not buy into nor ever saw any sales hype.
6. Have enjoyed it from day one. Unapologetically.
7. I prefer 270 over 30-06 as well.
