[QUOTE="tcob68, post: 907094, member: 29435"] 6.5 Creedmoor! Bought my wife a Savage Lady Hunter because she couldn't get comfortable shooting any of my rifles because of her smaller stature. Bought some factory ammo to do barrel break-in, establish a base line for accuracy and have some fire-formed brass for reloading. Much to my surprise the factory 120gr A-max shoots into a 1/2" and the load recipe is on the back of the box. Advertised muzzle velocity on the box says 2910fps, shot over the magnetospeed and it averaged 2870fps out of the 20" barrel. Although my wife is new to shooting, recoil of the Creedmoor is a non-issue for her. The little cartridge has a lot going for it. Good ballistics, accurate, low recoil, and factory ammo is quite good and not very expensive. Also the Hornady brass is surprisingly good and now Nosler is making brass. I really don't think either you or your wife would be disappointed in the 6.5 Creedmoor. [/QUOTE]
