6.5 Creedmore

[johnr]

I won a .308, it is a military style something or nother. I have shot it a few times. Don't foresee it being my go to ever.

I won a 6.5 creedmore and my son said he wanted it so I gave it to him. I used it that year for deer hunting to try it out. Worked great and dropped my doe in her tracks. The next year I won another one and kept that one for myself. One is a weatherby and one is Franchi. Both are great guns.

I have a couple of them. I loaded up some reduced loads for a niece last fall using Hornady 95 gr Vmax. When the girls shot it they said, it doesn't kick at all. She shot her doe at just over 180 yds and it ran maybe 50 yds. I personally never shot them at a animal. But shooting at paper they do shoot good. And if you handload you can load up to 156 gr.

This ^^^ makes the 6.5 stand out with 10lbs og felt recoil and ammo variations 55gr to 143gr,I've read this creedmore will replace the 308 in the field, today in told a magnum round is available but only heresy.

I currently have two. One is a Savage BA Stealth with a 26 inch heavy Criterion barrel and the other was a Savage Weather Warrior in 22-250 which now has a 24 inch Criterion heavy sporter. The largest animal I have shot was a 4x4 heavy body deer at 758 yards. Shooting 140g Berger VLD with 41.5g H4350. He traveled about ten yards.

6.5 CreedMoor is the 1st cartridge/chambering post-ubiquitous LRF that's had people who actually shoot, on both the rifle and ammo side, sit down, put their heads together, and design the rifle (chamber, mag box, twist rate) to meld with current projectiles and forward looking to where projectile R&D is headed.

Previous to that with the exception of Rem long-actions and to a lessor degree Sako, rifle manufacturers put 0 thought into how a chamber and a mag-box might correlate. Rem and Sako didn't get it right so much out of thought as much as by putting everything "long action" on the same 3.6"++ magazine mostly for the cost savings of continuity.

Case in point, there's never been a Rem 700 nor 40x chambered in .308 from the factory that would allow you within .25" of the lands while still retaining a short enough COAL to fit and feed from the internal (or removable) box magazine (single-shot followers don't count here).

The CreedMoor, PRC, and ARC have all taken into account and purposely produced chamber dimensions, twist rates, and magazine confines that allow one to experiment and expect excellent results with available and future components.

It's not "magic", it's forethought.

I think he means he’s got 7 308’s.

Shoot a Creedmoor and 308 at steel in a 30 MPH cross wind.

Tell me which one you're picking after. THX

 

[Jiffy]

308

 

[Big Iron]

Neat

 

[SDMF]

So does the 7-08, 260, and 243 assuming enough twist to stabilize 105+gn projectiles.

Trying to decide between Browning X-Bolt 2 and Seekins Precision ph3.

I believe I'd opt Seekins.

Seekings 100% one down side is they are their own action so you can't drop in a new stock. But they have great stocks and you can break them down in the field without tools.

And when your tired of the creedmore the barrel is a quick change and can change the boltface to a magnum.
