Just an itch for something differance or a feeling that you want a larger margin of error for novice shooters (while still easy to shoot) and don't want to follow the crowd to 6.5cm?

Just itching for scratching I think, I was given a 6.5x55 barrel so I'll screw it on and see where it goes. If I had a creedmoor barrel I'd screw that on instead

Making my way through the calibers, reloading has become the hobby for sure. Probably be cheaper to get my friends to buy rifles that I can experiment with but they are far to sensible

As a 6.5x47 fan in late 80sbefore creedmoor 6.5 remington etc was available , stick to standardize calibres
Easier to get brass
Projjies etc forming brass is a pita
Not worth the hazzle go std calibres
For like 100fps or .1 better groups - the animal doesn't care , time wasted in load development is time wasted on meat
