rifles in 6.5 Creedmore?

[Buckmastr]

Why would anyone bring their hunting rifle to a shooting match?

And vice versa. Good question!

I don't think anyone is bringing a shooting match to their hunting rifle.

I like how butthurt the Creedmoor haters get. Nice to see this thread at 240 replies and 5000 views so far. Spark up the forum

LOL. It's so personal for some of these guys, it's like Hornady insulted their mother (6.5x55) or kicked their dog (260).

Lots of small ##### energy emanating from this thread.

I suspect a lot of it is coming from those who bought what was a decent long-range rifle before 6.5CM came out and have to accept that they need to upgrade; for a newer shooter without an existing investment the choice is easier.

Yes, 6.5 creedmore really has me reconsidering on my 338 and 50 purchases

Why in the world is that comparison even a thing? That right there is how ridiculous this argument really is.

I wasn't comparing, I was replying to the post above mine

If it's for PRS, vast majority are shooting some sort of 6mm, so are the 6.5cm guys selling those to buy 6mm's since they are so much more superior?

LMAO.....I'm going to have to remember that one.

120's at 3000 fps work perfect for hunting.

I was shooting 120gr Nosler BT over 44.4grs W760 yesterday from a 24" 6.5 Creedmoor, 2995 fps average over 7 rounds

Right on. Good speed. I like the ballistic tips. Also the Sierra 120’s.

I shot some silhouettes the other day with the 107 Sierra hpbt, 48 H4350 at 3200. Lots of bullet choices out there.
Good shooting tod.

6.5CM would make a fantastic whitetail deer round IMO. Its not overkill but its not too weak either.

I killed three last year with 120 grain bullets. It was very effective.

Some of us shoot our hunting rifles. A lot.

X2.

If your hunting rifle is fun to shoot, you will shoot more and become a more effective hunter.

Marksman* not hunter, being a good marksman is only one small part of being an exceptional hunter.

True, no disagreement that there is more to hunting than marksmanship. However, marksmanship is still very important and poor marksmanship has a large impact on game.
