[QUOTE="CONatureBoy, post: 2214223, member: 118769"] Second Lefty's motion. 6.5 Creedmoor is a long-range target caliber. It's not very fast for long-range hunting. If you want to hunt long range with a 6.5, consider a caliber that will give you several hundred feet per second more velocity at the muzzle. Also agree with GrayCreed about buy vs. build. If you're building, you can order a high-twist-rate barrel for whatever caliber you want. A 264 Win Mag with a 7.5"-twist barrel will stabilize a 156-grain Berger EOL at over 3,000 fps. See e.g. [URL]https://www.longrangehunting.com/threads/looking-for-guidance-with-264-win-mag-and-156-berger.240269/[/URL] and [MEDIA=youtube]YRAo81mV1kM[/MEDIA]. That's a long-range 6.5 hunting rifle. [/QUOTE]
