[QUOTE="Litehiker, post: 1268632, member: 54178"] I have two 6.5 Creedmoor rifles, Ruger Amer. Predator for hunting and Ruger Precision Rifle for competition. I am very satisfied with with both because they shoot fairly flat, are not barrel burners and seem inherently accurate. PLUS the case is designed to handle long VLD type bullets, something the 260 Rem. will not do without a lot of powder compression and dangerous pressures.. If it would have handled VLD bullets there would have been no need to develop the 6.5 CM. But... for [I]really[/I] flat shooting 6.5 pills the 6.5/284 is[U] it[/U]. Yes, at 3,000 FPS plus muzzle velocities it's a barrel burner but it is just so flat shooting and accurate. A similar round would be a 6.5 Swede AI. The Ackley Improved case gives a lot of room for powder and there are dies made for it by specialty die makers like Jones Precision in Pennsylvania. Of course you have to form your own brass but it's not difficult. Eric B. [/QUOTE]
