[QUOTE="Wachsmann, post: 1977851, member: 10429"] There are times I wish I had not got rid of my 308 for the 6.5 creed. I had it dialed in from 0 to 1000 with some 168 and 178 amax. I think I still have some of those rounds loaded up somewhere. I might go back to the 308 but it had a little more recoil and I was just paper/steal shooting with it. I still have not given the 6.5 a fair shake as for reloading, just not getting out as much since I moved but it has done very well with over the counter rounds even out to 900 yrds. So far the best round has been the HSM loaded with bergers. If not reloading these would be my go to round as for now. I have not tried the hornady yet. I have some 130 TL** something by federal that I'm wanting to try out also. Supposed to be a bonded bullet and pretty good BC. They may also prove to be a winner. Will have to see. I.also tried the 127LRX barns and they were decent just not as consistent at distance. Still make a good 500 to 600 yrd round. [/QUOTE]
