Thread: 6.5 creedmoor on deer

Before anyone goes and spends $ on a 6.5 CR. check each rifles box mag length, some have bugger all room to seat out the projectiles, others have plenty,,,,, if there's no spare length you may limit powder capacity/velocity/accuracy with 140 or 142 gr projs....... Thereby making the whole point of the cartridge less effective(in that rifle) . 284 and 6.5x 284 suffer similar problems= manufacturers chambering the rounds in med actions, when they require more length to make use of their design requirements.
