[QUOTE="SupressYourself, post: 193370, member: 340"] I was gonna let this go until you called the Creedmoor a "turd lobber". That hurt my feelers, so now I need to point out that your statements are fairly broad generalizations. :D If you look at load data and ballistic charts, when you compare similar bullet weights and same barrel lengths, the 6.5 Creed is not far behind the 25-06. Oh, and it does it in a [U]short action [/U]case. That's only one of the reasons its so popular. Any rifle [I]can[/I] be accurate at any point within it's normal velocity band. I have a 22-250 that pushes the 53 v-max at over 3900 fps, and you can cover groups with a quarter, sometimes a dime. I do agree that the 25-06 would benefit from heavier bullets and faster twists, but imo, that's not where they missed the boat. Should have been a [B]26[/B]-06, then we could get rid of all 25 and 27 calibers, which (again, imo) despite their popularity, are unnecessary. :;:stirthepot [/QUOTE]
