[QUOTE="MontanaJack, post: 1752916, member: 25389"] I just set up a 6.5 Creedmoor for my grandkids. Bought a Howa 1500 and ordered a youth stock. With 135 grain Berger Classic Hunter bullet & 43 gr. H4350 powder & CCI 200 primer, it is shooting 0.24" groups at 100 yards. Seating @ SAAMI Max OAL. Berger recommended the Classic Hunter, noting that it accommodates short magazines where VLD's can't be used and extended to meet the lands of the barrel for accuracy. Also just bought a Diamondback AR10 that is shooting sub-minute accuracy using bulk ammo. The AR10 has no recoil, and great adjustment on stock length. Not a pretty bolt action hunting rifle, but something to consider. Loving the 6.5 Creedmoor. Still use the 6.5-284 for my hunting deer size game, but the 6.5 Creedmoor should do well too. [/QUOTE]
