Extreme Long Range Hunting & Shooting (ELR)
Is the 6.5 Creedmoor too "light" for 1,000+ yard hunting?

[QUOTE="Bowfishn, post: 1351418, member: 56875"] RL26 with added vel does have a price to pay, with its higher Heat of Explosion rate you will give up barrel life, so 2800 fps with 140s usually means H4350 and a bit longer barrel life. When my throat is gone in my build (Savage Long Action) I will rechamber in 6.5X284 if I can and buy another 6.5 Creed barrel. Right now I am working on my new Savage 10 BA Stealth, wanted a chassis rifle and with Savages $150.00 rebate I figured now was the time. I am doing all my preliminary work with RL26, 130 ELD-M bullets, GM210M primers and New Nosler Brass. Do you have any success stories you want to share with your 6.5X284, bullets used, game and yardage? [/QUOTE]
