I have nothing against the 6.5 Creedmoor. Don't own one and never shot one.
Just some humor for this thread.

I've got a 6.5 creedmoor. I was playing around on gunbroker and wound up winning it so that's why I got it. Same thing happened the next year and I wound up with a 270 Win that had a muzzle brake on it and I wind up taking that deer hunting. Maybe I'll take the creedmoor this year though. BTW I don't have a man bun and never will have.

Let talk about WSSM if you want to get into cartridges that were completely overblown. I know a couple guys that have 270 WSSM and they're the greatest caliber ever invented. I think ballistics on a regular 270 is almost the same as the WSSM. Of course right now they can't find ammo anywhere for the 270 WSSM. I found a few boxes on gunbroker but they're about $4.00 a round for basically a 270 Win.

The ELDx is just an a-max with a bit of change in the shape to give it a better BC, the amax was an excellent deer bullet as long as the impact velocity was below 3100 fps. the creed is an excellant cartridge, the high BC of the .264 diameter is what allows the bullet to remain supersonic to allow the 1k target shooting with the small capacity of the creed's case. but any high BC bullet drops and drifts 30% less than a bullet of lower BC. it can be done with any cartridge. I have shot some 284 bullets of 200 gr. that has a BC of around .84, at 3250 fps they are amazing!

Lost a deer on what I thought was a terminal neck shot, deer was down for 5 minutes, got up and ran of while I went to get the truck, (30 minutes), switched to Barnes 120 gr now for hunting deer. I don’t carry it to hunt, my daughter sort of claimed it, she has killed a couple buck with it since.

What makes the gun good is not entirely the gun but the man loading the bullets.

Like geezzzz I don't even like to mention it when I go into a shop.
Was in the pawn shop last week and was asking the lady at the counter if they could order me in a 6.5 grendel and do a lay away payment . Before I could say Gr... Had some guy snort from the other end of counter snort and start goin off on a rant about why .260 is better. Ends up the guy never own one of either smirk

That then I was at the range shooting my .243 had a guy next to me ask what I was shooting and he started talking about his Creedmore and how good the BC was. I asked him what BC was and how far did he generally shoot guy says he don't shoot past 100yd most of the time and couldn't tell me how BC even made a difference when shooting. Was shooting 3" groups @100yd
Idk I just hope they hurry up and kill it already , getting to the point I can basically predict what's going to be in a comment section or what's going to come out of somones mouth to the point it's not even fun anymore. Had to unfollow a few pages like outdoor life on FB because that's all these ever on it it seems anymore


I usually reply to snorters with something like, "I had planned on paying for this with my own money. You can keep your 2 cents."

But I'm friendly like that.

Shoot what you want to shoot. Hang what everyone else has to say.

Since I was 16, I’ve been shooting my Weatherby 7mm REM Mag I bought in Houston 28 years ago, (which I have taken white tail, hogs, and even black bear in NE Alberta with it.) but recently have had patterning issues with her and decided to make a change. I sprung for the Tikka 6.5 Creedmoor, and have been amazed with my groupings (admittingly off a lead sled), that can punch nails out to 400yds with a nostler 142g. I’m starting to believe this is powered by dragon tears and pixie dust…. Only explanation I can find…..

I grew up using a 270, and still love my 270 pump for timber hunting, but my long range rifle is a 7mm STW. Have a 260 for the wife that is a nice little gun and shoots nice. I'd have to spend some time counting to figure out how many guns I own, but I generally hunt with three centerfire rifles, 270, 7mm STW, and 45-70. The others get taken out occasionally, but most I have killed maybe one critter with, and/or loaned them to someone else to shoot something with, and I fall back on the same three favorites, preference depending on what type of hunting I plan on doing that day.

I have rifles in many calibers and lengths, but not a 6.5. I have that slot pretty well bracketed with conventional firearms.

“ I run” I hear that term on here Wouldn’t it be easier to hit the target if you were sitting still ? What does that even mean ? Yea I might see running a belt thru an auto machine gun Or even “running “ a full clip thru a pistol
