    I've been watching and reading a lot about the 304 vs 6.5 debate and I can see viability on both sides but I'm still too novice to concretely decide. Good to know that 305 vs 223 hand-loading is similar, that will definitely influence my decision once I get there. I think I'll follow the advice here and look at bolt-action rimfire 22 and see how I go. I think once I'm experienced enough I'll build up to 223 and eventually to 308 or 6.5. Is hand-loading possible with 6.5Creedmoor at this stage?
