Thread: What 6.5

My rifle currently 6.5creedmooris over 1000 rounds old now
And while it’s still shooting under 1/2moa at 100m I know at some point it will probably require a new tube
And wondering what direction to go
Ive owned all popular 6.5’s before with the Exception of 6.5x47l
I have the most experience with 260 and creedmoor
But have a fair amount of time with a 55 also

The rifle is a howa I love the thing so won’t change anything just the tube I will keep the same profile and length (20”)
I had the gunsmith install a long mag box 2.930 so can seat those 140’s out a mile
I generally shoot 120-130’s though at arround 2900 depending on load and shooting to 350m


Im wondering if I should change caliber or stick with the creedmoor
And if i do change
What to go for?

The action probably isn’t long enough for the 55 loaded long so that’s out

260 rem or an improved version of

Or
6.5x47 to try something new

Or stick with creedmoor which has been a brilliant round been very happy with it

Thorghts?

I’ll run the current barrel it until it dies but just starting to think about the next move
