[QUOTE="1lessdog, post: 276405, member: 6971"] I was never a 6.5 fan. Just didnt see what all the craze was about. Till I built a 6.5 x 284 and shot it out to 600 yds. So I went a head and built another one. Both have Brux barrels 1 - 8 twist. Both built on Remington 700 actions. Both blueprinted and chambered with the same reamer. First one built has a 26 inch barrel sec one has a 24 inch barrel. They both shoot 143 gr Hornady ELD X in the same hole all day long. Some people have asked me why I didnt build a 6.5 Creedmoor as its on a short action. I tell them if a caliber is based on the length of action that is a poor excuse. I can cycle a long action as fast as a short action. And the way they shoot I dont need to cycle the action. Between Antelope and Deer and lots of Prairie dogs every shot has been one shot kills. The 6.5 x 284 has won more matches than the 6.5 Creedmoor ever will. To me its a better designed cartridge and you have lots of room for loads. Now someone is going to bring up the 6.5 PRC and the 6.5/300 Wby. There is nothing wrong with both of them cartridges. I have 25/300 Wby that will do the samething as the 6.5/300 Wby only faster.
