[QUOTE="Wachsmann, post: 1995324, member: 10429"] Your comment about the 300Rum I suppose is to be funny. It’s actually a good cartridge with the right bullets and will have far more distance killing power and effectiveness than any 6.5 creed. I own both. I run a 220 grain in the rum at the speeds you get with the top loads of the 6.5 creed. With higher BC’s and much longer terminal performance you can’t even compare the 2. Biggest issue with the rum I see is the recoil management and factory support. Mine wears a muzzle brake and shoots about like an 06 or less. It does creat a lot of blast but that due to the muzzle brake. When it’s wore out will chose the rum again, I don’t know. I suspect Hornsby will always load the 300PRC so this may be a better option when searching for brass. But if I has to choose one gun for the rest of my life to shoot it would be the 6.5x284 Norma or the 6.5 PRC or a 7mm mad. Something with a little more power than my creed. All will work on all North America game that have hooves and put meat in the freezer. [/QUOTE]
