Like a moth to a flame, these 6.5CM threads never fail to attract idiots. You deniers do need some new arguments and pics.


It is irrelevant what you think. What matters is the TRUTH.

Yep. The Creed benefitted from advertising .

You're yet another example of the typical 6.5 Creedmoor hater who's never fired one--and has no clue about why it succeeded so well. It was NOT about velocity, which is purely a matter of powder room, but accuracy, especially with factory ammo. I would be willing to bet you've never fired a 6.5 Creedmoor...

And no, the Creedmoor did NOT succeed due to "advertising." Have pointed this out many times before, but will again: The cartridge came out in 2007, with almost no advertising or other publicity. But within a few years some hunters started trying it, and discovered even factory ammo was very accurate, often more so than their best handloads in the .260 and 6.5x55. Only after that did the "publicity" start--which was fueled by results, not advertising.

Hornady & others develop these new whizz bang cartridges

People buy 'em......Hornady makes $$$$$$$

My thoughts.....6.5CM has nothing over the 125 YO 6.5x55

Only a newer case design

I'm a 6.5x55 kinda guy
A 6.5CM doesn’t have a thing over a 6.5x55 in a hunting rifle for someone that reloads. As a precision rifle cartridge it definitely has some advantages from a faster factory standard barrel twist to being able to seat long heavy for caliber bullets out in the mag box of a short action rifle if going to a long action than that leaves a lot of other options on the table for chamberings, shoulder angle ect. I like the Swede for a hunting rifle but for someone looking for the easy button and plentiful rifles and factory ammo that isn’t downloaded to old guns a 6.5 CM makes a lot of sense there too.

The 6.5 CM is popular today for the same reasons that the Swede was popular. Plentiful guns and ammo and similar ballistics and heavy for caliber bullets.

Building a rifle and handloading for it. The Creed cannot do a thing my Krieger barreled Ruger or Rem 5R, each in 260 will not do.

For those unwilling to handload, and locked into a factory rifle, the Creed checks a few boxes.

The same can be said for 6mm Creed vs 243.

Maybe the same reason someone made a 308, 300 H&H mag 300 Win, 300 Norma ,308 Norma mag ,30-30 win when the 06 does it all.

As always it’s up to the individual to choose what he wants.
Cheers.
I wish someone could explain why it is bad for a "bullet to invade the powder column"?

Opt for a Bergara! Well built and double-dog accurate without spending $4000.00! Had several on my range and with good handloads in 6.5 shoot well to 1000 yards!

What length does that allow? I have a 308 that could use some room.

I will have to check when I get home from work. I shopped specifically for the longest allowable COAL, when I bought the bottom metal and box a couple years ago.

I wil get back in about six hours.

A couple of us high power shooters were using 6.5-08 (.260R) and thought just shorting the case would work better with 142 Sierra's for 300yd where we had to use the magazine. So next barrel we held the reamer back .08 and shortened some dies. The case capacity is almost exactly what Dennis Demille and Hornady came up with in the 6.5 Creedmoor. Its funny, he was shooting a match at Camp Butner at the same time we were just starting to use our 6.5-08 short.

We had piles of .308 brass to play with so why not use it. Made a bunch of brass with a dillon power trimmer.
