[QUOTE="out scoutin', post: 429157, member: 23658"] I've been fiddlin' around with the 6.5 Creedmoor in some local long distance events with a stock Ruger77 Target rifle with very good results, and have been wondering if anybody is using this round for hunting yet? I am envisioning getting a Ruger Hawkeye as a hunting rig with maybe a Leupold CDS scope....maybe taking a couple of inches off the stock 26" barrel...I know I'll lose velocity, but am willing to do so for the conditions I hunt in here in the Northeast. My gunsmith is located in a building on Rugers property so it is an easy way to go. (He built my elk rifle for me on a 700 action so I've been that route too.) Just figuring I can kill 2 birds with one stone cause it will help me reduce the amount of cartridges I reload for too. Thanks, johnny [/QUOTE]
