Thread: What 6.5

If it ain’t broken then don’t fix it!

If you like the calibre then stick with it but... variety is the spice of life... then by all means switch to another calibre you haven’t tried like a .260 AI or 6.5x47

Ever thought of going to a 6mm round like a 6mm GT or 6mm Dasher as Wingman has one.

True and I have all the loading gear for the creedmoor aswell
Good stuff

Nah to be honest I probably wouldn’t go to a 6mm with my main hobby being black powder and Antique firearms
I can really only justify a alrounder for hunting and target shooting
Although I love 6mm as you can tell from my handle
I have found it a little lacking on really big animals 6.5 is better in that regard

Found it lacking on big animals wash your mouth out!

It’s your choice, but I would go 6.5x47 if it were me. Like the Creedmoor, it was specifically designed for target shooting, but is a shorter case and has small primer pockets as standard.

That said, with the current lack of ammo and components, you are more likely to find Creedmoor loaded rounds or cases.

You should get at least another 1000 shots from your Creedmoor before a new barrel is needed.
