[QUOTE="lesvoth, post: 1516564, member: 100864"] As the venerable Cold Trigger Finger says - It works. I made the longest shot on a deer I've ever made - I like to put the sneak on them - last year, at 420 yards with my Cold Trigger Finger clone Ruger with an 18" barrel. I started the "6.5" thing 15 years ago with a Swede and have used that, an Encore in .260 and a couple of Creedmoors ever since. Every deer dies. "Put the pointy thing point forward in the chamber and shoot 'em in the front half . . ." They tip over. PRS shooters use truckloads of 6.5 Creedmoors. I shot at a match in eastern Nebraska last Saturday and the farthest target getting a whacking was over 1300 yards from the shooters. The nearest was just over 200 yards. That cartridge is popular with everyone from top shooters - not all - to beginners - most. The only reason I wasn't using my 6.5 Creedmoor on Saturday was because some guy took the 6.5 barrel offa my Stiller and screwed in a "6mm Confusion" barrel. I had to neck down my 6.5 brass to fit it, but I finally got them to slip into the chamber . . . You ask me to go kill a rabid skunk, deer for the table, an elk tiptoeing through the rose hips, a moose on solid ground, a coyote slinkin' after a rabbit in a corn field . . . I'll grab my Cold Trigger Finger clone, 18 " Ruger and use it for what it was designed for. (Hello, Alaska!) [/QUOTE]
