[QUOTE="Litehiker, post: 1617196, member: 54178"] Congratulations Padmi, 6.5 Creedmoor is a good all around cartridge for a lot of big game. I have a Browning X-Bolt Pro in 6.5 CM and a Ruger Precision Rifle also in 6.5 CM. Because the bullets, especially in the 140 grain weights, are so aerodynamic you have less wind drift than the average weight 30 caliber bullets. **Be careful of going above 145 grains in bullet weight because your rifle's 1:8 twist will not properly stabilize higher weight 6.5 mm bullets. Browning offers a "Long Range" version of my rifle with a 26 inch barrel and a [B]1:7[/B] twist for those heavier bullets. Eric B. [/QUOTE]
