Thread: Which 6.5

6.5x55 SE does the job for me. Reloading your own ammo is a must for this calibre if you want to get the most out of it. As previously mentioned the factory ammo is a little slow due to having to accommodate the older rifles.
I don't understand the hype around the 6.5 Creedmore in a bolt action rifle. Totally get the advantage in a gas gun however.
Ackley Improved is an advantage not just for improved case capacity, but also for effectively removing the need to ever trim case length again. (1 less step in the whole reloading process is totally worth it)

Given the choice of starting over with a 6.5, I'd be squarely looking at a 260AI.
