But, do you have any other guns? Some folks might have missed the point of the article DD. Read the article?!?!??? You ask for directions and read instructions too??!!????!?!?!! But, I actually didn't read it. Don't care. All the 6.5cm ever was was a .260 rem that came with an appropriately twisted barrel for vld-ish bullets "standard" and a magazine that would fit those bullets loaded at an appropriate depth. My 6mm manbun is the same thing to a .243 If a guy had a custom 243 or 260 with an appropriate barrel twist he would have no reason to switch to the man-bun, but iffn you were starting from scratch......

The 6.5CM is simply an improved .260 with the correct barrel twist. That's a good thing, It's a good recoil-reduced cartridge, and those who continually attack it are simply morons. It's not the 6.5CMs fault that previous 6.5s were twisted wrong or sized for intermediate actions no longer produced. It doesn't compete with the 26 Nosler or 6.5 WSM or even the .264WM, but then like all short action small head cartridges it's really designed for very low recoil - a women and children and targets cartridge. it does that well and is eminently reloadable and accurate. Those that continually praise it as the greatest thing since sliced bread are also morons. Where are these people? I've seen people point out the improvements over previous 6.5s, and note that high-SD 6.5 bullets offer very good terminal performance for the recoil that's not easily matched in 6mm, .25 or .270. But I've never actually seen anyone make exaggerated claims about it. Only people bitching as it displaces other cartridges they want to nuthug that are twisted wrong or sized wrong or have poor case design or whatever.

I've met a few at the range. They usually need more practice reading the wind and less time talking......

That's all well and good, but I'd refer you to my post above.

I'll still say I've seen 100s of losers bitching about the 6.5CM and never once anyone claiming it was magic If you want to be in the bin with the other losers, bitch away...

It's not a huge [bleep] secret what guns I hunt with and none of them is a 6.5CM. See what I mean about how irrationally hating on the gun makes you into an idiot?

My 260 Ti does all I ask it to do. Minute of deer or target anyway. And Richard Mann, if you are here, Good article. You have a way of writing that keeps a guy reading and laughing most of the way. Be well, RZ

That’s partly why the 6.5 Creedmoor sucks. But the main reason, the real reason, the 6.5 Creedmoor sucks, is because if you want to do everything discussed here with only one factory rifle, and with factory ammo, the 6.5 Creedmoor might be the only rifle you need. And there’s nothing, absolutely nothing, that sucks more than only needing one rifle! Some of you clowns need to turn in your Loony ID card.

I understand that if you purchase a 6.5 Crapmoore, one of these Twat Knots is included for free: ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/LkMwBca.png) Prove me wrong. The only acceptable use for a 6.5 Creed is for very small girls, pole-smokers, and maybe the infirm.

Yeah, I read the article..................I'm a compulsive reader, have been since about 5 years old..............but I very rarely ask directions. When I first moved out here someone told me a person lived just past "where the old Alamo restaurant used to be". Like HTF am I supposed to know where that is if I just moved here and it's no longer "the old Alamo" but someone's house  Oh, your last sentence there.............not quite word for word what's in the article.

See, where are these fanboys? Show me someone claiming it's a great bison gun or ELR gun or somehow magical, and your point is made. But I've never seen anyone say that. Just factual things like it's accurate, highly reloadable (very low case stretch), has high SD/BC bullets, low recoil etc.
