[QUOTE="Litehiker, post: 1459609, member: 54178"] I have a 6.5 CM Ruger American Predator (heavier barrel than standard American) and it is amazingly accurate with 143 gr. Hornady ELD-X cartridges - as in mainly 3/4" to 1/2" groups at 100 yards from a bench rest. The 6.5 Creedmoor is an excellent competition cartridge that has turned out to be a great hunting cartridge for medium game including cow elk. Its wind cheating ability has proven to be much better than the .308 Win. 25-06 cartridges will not have the availability of many loads for factory cartridges or, for hand loading, bullet styles and weights as the 6.5 CM now has. Not to mention it is a longer cartridge, often requiring a more expensive rifle. Eric B. [/QUOTE]
