Thread: 6.5 creedmoor reviews??????

A lot of people buying their first rifle said they’d never want to shoot over 400 yards… :-). Once you work out how capable modern rifles are you might change your mind.

With that in mind I’d go for the 6.5. I’ve got one and mates have and they’re very capable out to 550-600 in the right hands

I’m a very novice hunter myself and just bought my first rifle in the last 6 weeks - a Howa 1500 in 6.5 Creedmoor. Having lost my job in the last month I’ve had plenty of time to use it too! I haven’t got lots to compare it to, but I’m really enjoying it. Everything I’ve pointed it at is dead so that’s something (all shots have been made at around 50m-250m). Currently just using up the American whitetail 129gr factory ammo it came with but once I’ve used it up I’ve got a mate who reloads those 143gr ELD-X’s.
