[QUOTE="reekax, post: 1622933, member: 52067"] Seems everyone has the 6.5 Creedmore fever these days. My vote would be for a 6.5-284 Norma. Less drop and drift than the Creedmore at 1000 yards. Faster and therefore more energy down range. Proven 1000 yard match winner. Lapua and or Nosler brass, both are excellent choices. Hornady brass, not so much. Must use long action however to accommodatce the high bc 140+ grainers seated close to the lands. Those bullets will not encroach into the case body as they would on the 6.5 Creedmore case in a short/medium action. Round could be loaded down to creedmore velocities if too much kick for your daughter right now. Creedmore cannot do anything that this round does except fit into AR10 magazines. 6.5-284 is more accurate at 1000 yards. Don’t believe it? Check out the wind drift and drop and time of flight between the two cartridges. [/QUOTE]
