[QUOTE="Tex_Hunter, post: 1556029, member: 31749"] You do realize every reason you listed above is true about the 6.5 Creedmoor? Ammo: - $.50 per rd Remington Core Lokts up through $3+ per round custom ammo from Litz/HSM/ABM/Nosler Custom etc - Costs less than even widely available 308 when comparing like to like (ie. Fed Gold Medal, Hornady etc.) - Bullet selection from 100gr varmint bullets up through 140gr+ match and hunting bullets Rifles: - Not sure where you are looking but every major rifle maker has multiple offerings (eve Winchester and Remington FFS) in 6.5, usually with multiple styles, lightweight sporters/yout models up through heavy barreled match/tactical rifles... I cant think of a single OEM that offers a 270 or 25-06 in anything other than a sporter to be honest. - Twist rate optimized for full range of projectiles offered, the 1:10 twist on any factory 270 wont stabilize the VLD 150gr+ bullets out there Brass: - Hornady, Lapua, Norma, Remington, Nosler, Winchest (if you shoot their factory ammo), Alpha munitions (small and large primer), Starline (small and large primer)... not really sure what your point is? Hornady is putting the same efforts into the PRC... reason suggests it will be on this same level within the next 5yrs. Are either of these rounds good enough to sell or re-barrel your current 270/25-06? No, but if you were buying a new rifle and didnt have a ton of accumulated brass/components/tools, you'd be stupid to not at least consider the newer offerings. [/QUOTE]
