Your going to have problems with whatever you have because your shortsighted and narrow minded. You still think you should be able to buy whatever you want, when you want, for what you want to pay. You don't see what your looking at very well either. Go back to the stores 80-90% of that 308 ammo is fmj ammo not hunting loads same with the 223 ammo. You don't want to be bothered with reloading either and can't see the need for a purchase of more than 2 boxes at a time. There is no advice or help for people like you except 1 thing, just stay at home and do what your wife tells you. Hey YOU asked. Happy t -day.

STFU.

Well I do enjoy Stick telling you 2 guys where to get off and what he thinks of your cumulative knowledge. Stick doesn't give me hell like you guys because when he passes on his knowledge I listen. One of the know nothing blowhards on this forum is 10 gaugemag just don't listen to any advice he gives on the right magazine for your 760 or 7600 or anything else he says if you don't want it to cost you money. Mathman I usually listen to what you have to say because you are knowledgeable and informed but you need to watch who you side. Both of you I hope will still have a happy t day. Mb

Switch if you want.....when the gun bug hits I don’t have ground to stand on as far as criticizing choice. I wouldn’t switch personally and would try to either find more 6.5 or run down reloading gear and go that route.


Yup.

I've thrown together a few switch barrel rifles for some guys around here, they seem pretty happy with the results, but I encourage them to use cartridges of the same family which simplifies the hell out of things, hence the cost is lower...a good deal if you are a young working man with a family.

I wasn't siding with anyone, just noting that sometimes you seem to come on unnecessarily strong. I probably should have stayed quiet. Happy Thanksgiving to you too, let's shake on it and have a great holiday.

Perhaps the OP is on to something...

I was in the local SW yesterday (the 24th) and they had for the first time 308 & 30-06 ammo out the gazoo. No .26 CM however.

And just in time for the season to close...

Not sure where I cost anybody any $$ on a mag for a Remington pump but I am sure you're right.

You CLUELESS Fhuqking Drooltards are a HOOT! Hint. LAUGHING!

Pardon the simplistic FACT,that bullets matter wayyyyyyyyyy more than headstamps. Nod your crossed-eyes,setting atop your pencil necks,like you "understand". Hint. Fhuqking LAUGHING!.

To START with,there's NEVER been a 308 Factory "offering",that'll keep pace with a 264 Kreedmire Factory Load. Read that again. Now one more time. Let it marinate. Hint.

In retrospect,I've only whistled 1000+ rounds of 308 through a bolt gun in a single day,mebbe only five fhuqking times. Such things help R&D stocks,bedding,mounting systems,optics integrity and felt recoil mitigation,fire control group sanctity,along with more than a few other constants,which bear fruit. Hell...I've only caught (1) HK-41's fore end on fire too. Hint. Fhuqking LAUGHING!

I REALLY fhuqking HOPE,there's a Fhuqktard STUPID enough to down grade a 264 Kreedmire to 308,because that is Texas FUNNY! Hint.

The 308 will always recoil more,drop more,drift more and arrive the scene at lesser velocity,if only for fhuqking starters. Hint.

Schit Ammo doesn't "enhance" practice. Let alone the diminished abilities to derive trace/impact and contend drift. Hint.

Facts/Physics are handy,despite Fhuqking Retards being oblivious to said constants. Hint.

"Some" 308. Hint.

If it's marketing hype it sure has stuck around for quite a while, quite a while actually.

I have no need for one because I have something on either side of 6.5 that works but if I didn't have a 6mm or 7-08 the Creedmoor would for sure be on my very short list.

I have and use creedmoor, 7mm08, and swedemore. They all work well. The creedmoor's are markedly more accurate though. They were designed to be a target round with accuracy in mind and they don't disappoint...

I was seeing some 6.5 CM when I wasn’t seeing .308 for a while. Then I didn’t see either. Recently I have seen some .308, 9L, 223 around. I think the manufacturers will pour most of the manufacturing capabilities into the most popular or demanded cartridges for awhile, or until things ‘normalize’. That said, 6.5 is very hot and popular right now. I expect you’ll see some pop up sooner than later. Certainly not worth selling a gun over. No flies on a .308 though, despite Stick’s adoration of the kreedmire. Buy another rifle if you like, for any reason you may like - all reasons are good. And .308 is good too. My only advice would be not to bail out on your current rifle, unless you are unhappy with it.

This might be good advice too, even if you kept your 6.5 CM, but wanted to ad another rifle, potentially more suited to Elk. In the interest of diversity.
