Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire 6.5 cm

Handy, I have some shît groups too. From a new rifle that sucked, and was sent tripping down the road immediately.



If a rifle won’t produce consistent 1 MOA all day, everyday. It’s either gone, or gets gun plumbed until it’s corrected.

Back to shooting a 300 RUM. You afraid you’ll get bit by one? If you know how to properly shoot a rifle, you don’t worry about such things.

I have no need for one. Blue whales and mastodon aren't on my to kill list.

I'm a strange guy. I just pick the tool for the job...and I also don't have an Inferiority complex.

You are definitely a strange guy...Maybe stop acting like a woman all the time, and you’ll pull out of that Vaginitis funk you’re always suffering from.

Rich......says BEAVER lol.

Again with Inferiority complex....let's be honest here, you're just a dumbphucck.

Many of us spend a good bit of time shooting stuff under 400lbs and also appreciate the 6.5’s ballistic efficiency, factory acceptance, ammo/component availability, and moderate recoil, as those factors equate to more shooting time in more scenarios, which is a good thing. Some hate that it’s popular, some hate that it’s not a big magnum, some hate that it’s Version 3.0 of their beloved 6.5 concept, and some just see it for what it is and use the damned thing. I held off on accepting the 9mm Luger for years, for many of the same reasons the Creedmoor haters hate that round, but I came around because it makes the most sense in many instances.

There's nothing wrong with the Creed. If I had an empty safe and were shopping for my first ground squrrel to deer rifle, the Creed would be an acceptable choice.

But since the safe already contains rifles in 243, 6mm-284, 25-06, 7mm-08, 264 Win mag, and three chambered in 260 Rem. And all the associated reloading equipment and brass is already on the bench. There is no justification for a Creed at my house.

This is the best observation of the lack of need for the Creedmoor landslide. The Creedmoor was developed for a very specific shooting discipline, which it does cover, but the following and endorsements of it are way beyond what it deserves for a hunting cartridge…

The Creed is fun to shoot, best thing about it!!

Maybe you should try a 17 Hornet. It and a bunch of other varmint cartridges are fun to shoot hundreds of rounds, all day long…

Up Ho God forbid someone to comment with common sense.

Sure, look here. One of the best places to compete in high power rifle matches on the east coast.

Yes Sir, most folks don't know how it came about. Designed for a shooting game, not so much live game.

The comedic ignorance in this forum gets better and better with each passing day.

Tell that to ScenarShooter.

I have killed and seen some good sized critters killed, with the 6.5 Creed, including the fabled Rocky Mountain Elk, that everyone knows are bullet proof, don't knock it if you haven't tried it. Rio7

Can't really argue with that logic, as many existing shooters/hunters already had their bases covered when the Creedmoor came on the scene. Notwithstanding the esoteric matters like reamer prints, throating geometry, brass quality, and the like, some just don't want to participate in the current "Me Too" movement of the shooting/outdoor crowd that is made up of Vortex, Creedmoor, Glock, and Yeti.

IT Rarely comes out of the safe anymore, so I had to do something and that was to turn it into a varmint rifle. So now I shoot 85gr Sierra HPs and 95 gr Vmax's at 3500-3600 fps and it has found it's purpose in life.

Yup. The 6.5CM works just fine.

It must feel mighty powerful to go through life thinking that you know what others are thinking!
