Which short 6.5 to choose - 07/11/10
Lots of discussion lately with regard to which short 6.5 is the best.I think if Remington would have gone to a more Ackley type shoulder angle alot of the differences would be more of choice than performance.Case capacity would have a small increase which would overlap most of the edge by the Creedmore/6.5x47 or 6.5x 284.
I am presently preparing to rebarrel my Rem 700 ADL in 243 to probably a standard 260.This is strickly going to be a lighter weight deer rifle and most deer sized game at 200 yds aren't going to know if they were dropped by a Creedmore/6.5x47 or 6.5x284 !!! I have both P.O Ackley volumes of wildcat cartridges--in most cases[not all] the smaller cases show more ballistic performance with strait case walls and sharper shoulder angles verses larger ones.Best example 257 Roberts improved verses 30/06 Imp.
This shooting sport we all love would be a boring endeavor if it weren't for our many differences of opinions and preferences.So this is only my take on the subject and I will enjoy anyone else's comments!!
