6.5 Creedmoor

I've got some Hornady brass for mine that I've reloaded 5 times now with no visible signs of stress. Most had to be trimmed after the second or third loading.

Yes, and also by using 243 brass.[/QUOT

You can make 260 from 243 but not 6.5 creedmore. Creedmore has totally different case specs,its basically a 22.250 sized up.

I don't know why you are arguing with me about this. I have MADE 6.5 cm brass from 243 brass. Spend two minutes on Google and read the nice tutorials out there with pictures and everything for you. 22-250 ends up too short which is why I didn't go that way.

I decided to buy one rather then build one( much cheaper ) but its going to be a few months or so to get it from RUGER ! I ordered a New model Ruger American Predator - i am excited about getting this little cartridge ! :D RJ

Where did you buy this rifle from RJ? I have been a 6.5 shooter for years, but have to drink the Creedmore Kool Aid. I have a new Remiongton S/A on the way and it is is still up in the air how it will end up, might be another 260, 260AI, or might go to a hunting rifle chambered in 358 win, BUT, this Creedmore talk has me thinking.

I'm trying to decide if I want to buy a 6.5cm but I'm unsure because I kinda want a .257wby and I already have a .243 and .308 lol. Help!

Both are interesting cartridges. I suggest buy a rifle chambered in one or the other, and when you are done playing with it, swap it against the other..............

I'm shooting a Ruger 6.5 Creedmoor in the 'Predator' model. Laminated and stainless. (Prophet River) So far with little to no load development - this rifle will shoot inside 1" at 100yds. I've had groups as tight as 1/2" and a couple 'bug holes' ONE hole groups with the 140grn A-max Hornady factory loads IF you let it cool fully between shots.. On average its a 3/4" shooter. Love this gun. Sorry I'm late to chime in with my 2 cents. Good luck.

Custom built rifles are pricier, but if you can afford one, they have advantages over off-the-rack rifles. A factory barrel isn't going to shoot with a custom barrel. You have a choice between stainless and chrome-moly. You get to choose the rate of twist and style of rifling. You get to choose the length of the barrel, and its contour, and whether its fluted or not. A custom rifle can be chambered with a long throat to accommodate a long bullet, seated long, allowing you to utilize the maximum powder capacity of the cartridge. You can combine the short action cartridge with a long action rifle, so that the longest COALs can still be cycled through the magazine. You get to choose the style of stock that best suits your shooting style, and specify the length of pull. And, you get to choose your trigger.

AND... you get to loose a whack of money on resale...

If you go the custom route, do it for yourself and your long term usage, with no thought to recouping your investment... on resale you will net 50-60% of what you put into it, on average... where on a non-custom you will loose 15-20% and on a non-custom used rifle, you will likely loose zero%...

This is not a concern to everyone, but it is to many.

A custom rifle is only valuable to the man who orders it. A custom build you just own till you die, then they can stick it in the box with you.
