[QUOTE="snox801, post: 1388976, member: 54383"] If you are Loking to stat short action and factory ammo. You really can't beat the 6.5 creed. Mine is shooting really tight groups with factory hornady ammo. And like mud said I've killed plenty of deer and the mythical bullet proof hogs with my .25 cal. It's an amazing round. Not all bang flops like stated but many with nice exit holes. At those speed you need better bullet choice. I see way to may trying to shoot bullets not made for that application. The thing that really has me using my 6.5 more than my .257 is A. It's newer to me so it's still fun to learn what it can do. B. It is able to perform with a short barrel making it easy to carry and swing. That being said every year I still reach for the .25 and take it to a stand and whack something with it. I just have a spot in my heart for it. In fact I was going to bring it down to Texas and take a oryx with it this year. That may be not happening as I had some issues with accuracy while at the range last. Could have been me cause it was 5 degrees. Honestly you will love either round. Pick one and enjoy it. My suggestion is if you don't plane to shoot over 300 very often get the .25 hands down. If you are going to got over that then go for the 6.5. [/QUOTE]
