What can your 6.5 creedmore do that my .260 can't?

Didn't you say you had 7mm Rems before Chucky? Did you shoot 5 shots a minute with it constantly? How long did the barrel last?
I have a very good factory barrel, why would I ruin it shooting fast? Just to make more noise? Nah Chucky, I got other guns better suited for that. I like shooting for accuracy, I'm not in any rush. I dragged that 12lb 7mm out to the range and put 3 rounds through it... that's it. Had 3 other rifles that saw 20-30 rounds each though.
You should see how slow we shoot at 1km...might only shoot 25-30 rounds all day, but they are all hits. Cold bore zero Chucky...that first shot is the one that counts.

I’m not sure why you guys get away with denigrating my name like you do. But anyway. I digress. The first shot is the one that counts. You are right. And you are essentially shooting one shot groups. Which is fine, but let’s not lose sight of what it is.

Any pictures of your one shot successes. Ones that stopped hearts?

Hey, if you can dish it, you should be able to take it...right?
I wouldn't shoot at anything living at that distance. Long range shooting is a skill or challenge or whatever, that I want to learn and improve on, not for any real practical reasons. Just a skill that might be good to have.
I have no desire to take game at 1000m, or compete other then friendly stuff with my shooting mates. Just a hobby. Just for fun.
Only thing I had to shoot twice was the first deer I got when I was 16. It got up when I was walking up to it after I thought it was down for the count. 1 is plenty now, and with the bush here a shot gun would probably be more practical.

As I noted much earlier in the thread; with heavier bullets all of the data favors 260 and 6.5 x 55; with light bullets of the same weight, the CM will yield a higher MV.

I believe we are comparing these cartridges in a short action, therefore, with heavy vld bullets the creedmoor would have the advantage as long as the barrel was throated properly.

And now you have just pointed out a limitation of the CM....2.800 OAL to fit short action mag. That is the proper throating, there is no "long throating" on these.
I still think the best parent would have been the 284Win...

The limitations of the CM are that it fits in a short action? And the 284 Win case remedies that? What in the world are you getting at?

The difference is I don't care. And wasn't complaining about it.

When you kill something with your 6.5CM, your experience and opinion may be taken more seriously. Until then you are just pretending with a nice rifle. Commenting so nicely on others experiences, targets, yardages, stickers. Now claiming to be victimized by name calling.


Another WT dead as a result of the 260 Rem.
I will run out of kill pics here before Chuck runs out of posts.

I’d love for you to show me where I said anything close to that. I’ve killed more big game with more cartridges than most to fall into that trap.

I don’t think there is a discernible difference between the 270 Win and the 338 Win Mag in the fieldon our largest game. And you think I’d be dumb enough to say there is a difference between the Rem and CM? Nice try.
 
Other than: and this is based on my experience with both.

It will accommodate longer projectiles
It has a vastly superior selection of rifles available
It has a better selection of quality factory ammunition
It is a better case design
It has a better selection of reloading components

But other than that, no, there is no difference.
