Ask your wise "friend" the last time he/she/they saw 6.5-06 ammo on the shelf. whistle

He makes his own, has several hundred 6.5-06 cases, Quality makes them I think. He likes the hell out of this rifle, Doumolin Mauser action, hell on piggies!

Nothing wrong with the 6.5-06, 6.5 Sweed, .260 Rem. or any other of many cartridges. The Creedmoor legitimized the 6.5 in this country. The Sweed is difficult to get brass for and is a handloading proposition. The 6.5-06 is a handloading proposition. The .260 is like so many other Remington adventures it was a stepchild. It is also largely a handloading proposition. The Creedmoor is supported by good factory ammo from the start. It was originally offered in a fast twist to stabilize heavier bullets.
Perhaps it's greatest contribution to the shooting public is a splendid topic of largely useless debate on the merits of just about every other cartridge ever conceived.

To whom would that.be a consideration?

Have they even made factory ammo, the last thirty years? Not for me. Snicker and grin.

Oh, I'm with ya there.

But folks pi$$ing on the 6.5 Creedmoor really have a tough time grasping why it's so popular when in fact, it's pretty crystal clear.
But beotches be beotches. laugh

Yes, and how many times to I have to tell you not to bite when I laugh. Next time I'll tell you with a closed hand.

This is the best answer I have seen. Good marketing, and good factory ammo for those who don't reload. However, I will stick with my 308 which has killed every deer I have shot since 1992 with one shot kills. If I wanted to shoot long range, I would probably use a 300 WM which also has good factory ammo availability in most places or a 7mm Rem mag.

Availability of factory ammo is a must now-a-days with short ammo supply. When the supply was really bad about 6 months ago, the first things that came back in stock were 223/5.56, 308, and 9mm. This is what most people use today for all their hunting and self defense needs. I couldn't find any shotgun shells other than 28 gauge for a while.
