rifles in 6.5 Creedmore?

[conor_90]

If presented the same eurotrash medium end s/s push feed rifle in 6.5 creedmoor and .270 win why in the fresh #### would you choose the creedmoor for hunting?

 

[Mike112288]

I’d go 270 then

Why would anyone ever do that?
One's long action, while the other isn't.
Are you putting the long action cartridge in the short action or the short action cartridge in the long action?

Because the coin I flipped landed in favor of it. Not enough difference between them to really see any difference. I'd take whatever 7mm cartridge is offered.

 

[Mike112288]

7mm all the way !

Another Creed. Might even hit the EE someday, stay tuned. Until then I will put up with its 3" groups at 400 yards

Very nice as usual.
When you decide to sell I’m interested in the scope!

Nice tb. Factory barrelled action? Have you shot it much yet?

 

[todbartell]

18 rounds through it this morning with 130gr Sierra TGK and 140gr Partitions over Ramshot Hunter. No drama, it shoots straight out to 1/4 mile. Factory T3x Lite SS in a Game Scout

 

[Pat Brennan]

Nice rig. How much of that accuracy is due to it being a Tikka and how much is because it is a 6.5 ?

 

[LittleBoyLefty]

No drama, it shoots straight out to 1/4 mile.

Par for the course.

They go together like moose meat and gravy

Kool looking rifle - i LIKE the stock coloring !

Your Liking that RAMSHOT powder with the 6.5 CM - Load ? Velocity ? RJ

 

[todbartell]

Ramshot works well, I have an 8lb jug of BigGame and Hunter and a 1lb of Magnum. BigGame is between Varget and 4350 in burn rate, Hunter between 4350 and 4831. Magnum similar to H1000 -

The loads I shot today, 130gr Sierra @ 2680 with 43.6grs Hunter. 140gr Partitions @ 2580 with 43.5grs.

Chust me or does the 6.5 creedmoor seem slow?

 

[todbartell]

Chust me or does the 6.5 creedmoor seem slow?

compared to ? It holds 45 grains of powder

 

[TheTooner]

Nope, it's the other way around.

Guys are selling them after they realize that their 308 will do anything that a 6.5 will do for avg. hunting situations.

That sounds true to me. It's trendy, so if you try it and decide it's not worth keeping both, the trendy one will probably be easier to sell while it's still trendy.

65 Creed is just a passing fad....
