[QUOTE="Pmacc60, post: 1556313, member: 64018"] 6.5 Creedmoor is a nice little round for most of us it’s the 260 rem ballistic twin. Writers and shooters get a hold of this round and sing it’s praises to the point where it is perceived to shoot as flat as a beam of light and hits like Thor’s hammer. Truth is to get the full performance of the round you need to spend countless thousands of dollars for the rifle , scope and dies! It’s almost criminal the way this round is exalted having people going out and buying the Savage axis or the Ruger Americans expecting to take down game at several hundred yards. It’s almost a oxymoron round if you think about it .... I want a super long range rifle/cartridge combo that is highly accurate with longer aero dynamic bullets with a case that has lesspowder capacity and longer neck. I have to fit all this into a short action length rifle . Hey if your looking to shoot long range paper and measure your groups with a micrometer or you want a nice low recoil rifle for hunting deer size game the 6.5 CM fits the bill. That’s what it is ,nothing more . [/QUOTE]
