6.5 creedmoor etiquette / hunting ammo choice

[Buckmastr]

Factory ammo doesn’t appear to be any cheaper

Royally expensive.... 40-50$ a box of 20 is insane. 20-25$ a box of 20$ is a bit less unreasonable but still costly even at that price

 

[remington jim]

Cheap? Do you reload?

Yes I do - 53 + Years of it - Why you ask ? RJ

That's all premium ammo. That inexpensive 243 up at the top there in the blue box? They make that in 6.5 CM too.

No problem. Cabelas Calgary is having a sale fwiw.

 

[Mike112288]

Goodness. Even 30$ is absolutely nuts. Nevermind almost twice that. Wow. This is why All I have us 223’s and stuck on whether or not to do a 6.5 creed or 308 build for the heck of it to finally have something else than 223.

It's funny to see hunters whine about ammo price.

 

[hollowedpoint]

lol better tighten your man buns because .303 round these 40-50$ a box, and that’s for the cheap ones! Lmao it’s even a antique rimmed cartridge for gods sake

 

[Mike112288]

For hunting it’s not so big a deal. For plinking or varmints it’s insane

Do you reload? If not maybe it's something to consider. It will open up a whole new world to shooting.

 

[chuck nelson]

Didn’t Winchester just develop a new powder specifically for the Creedmoor?

 

[Buckmastr]

Yep, if you buy into the marketing.

 

[chuck nelson]

So this new powder doesn’t exist in your mind?

It's funny in the "Who still shoots .303?" thread there are people talking about how it's "cheap to shoot" I'm all like:

 

[Buckmastr]

I said "yep". So I'm not sure where you got the idea it doesn't exist in my mind.

Why don't you rush out and get some.
It will sell. It has people like you believing in magic as if it fell from the heavens like the creedmoor.

 

[chuck nelson]

No, no. You said “yep, if”. As if somehow it only existed in some marketing vortex of some sort.

My point was that this flash in the pan fad continues to make complete fools of its detractors. Pretty darn funny really.

Yeah, man. Those stupid idiots falling for a temperature insensitive ball powder.

 

[Buckmastr]

Yeah, man. Those stupid idiots falling for a temperature insensitive ball powder.

I haven't shot it but there are reviews on Staball 6.5 showing that it isn't as temperature insensitive as claimed. Or marketed...
Sensitive. Like creedmoor fan boys.
