[QUOTE="MudRunner2005, post: 1056298, member: 12995"] Personally, I don't care for the 6.5 Creedmoor. Nothing wrong with the caliber, I would just rather have a .260 Rem or a .260 Rem Ackley Improved. Everyone has their preferences. You can use .308 brass for reloading (necked-down to 6.5mm, of course) if you are in a pinch, and I have tons of extra .308 brass sitting around. Also, you can buy Lapua .260 Rem brass (which is what I would do). I use Lapua brass for my .308, and that brass is awesome. Personally, I wouldn't go under 20" from lug-to-crown, unless it was for a special purpose. If you were always going to be shooting it with a suppressor hanging off the end, and no more than 500-600 yards, then I would go 16.5". But if you want it for shooting longer ranges, say 750-850 yards, I wouldn't go less than 20". And if you were wanting to get on out to 1,000, 24-26" barrel would be ideal. These are just simply my opinions, as well. I am no expert. [/QUOTE]
