6.5 Creedmoor. Far from a "Fad".

[X-Force]

The 6.5 Cm is also on my list of rounds to buy this year. I am not sure on what platform just yet, as it will be for my 11 year old son. I also own a 26 Nosler, but it has just a bit to much poop for him at this stage of the game. It will be a deer, and elk gun for him until he can join the ranks of the bearded magnum guys, like his father. (no manbun)

I am with you, i have a kid and a wife who shoot, i just need a gun all of us can fit into. I'm looking at the Savage 110 Storm.

I have a Ruger american in 223 that the entire family loves to shoot, ( all 5) i am completely happy with the way it shoots. If i was honest i would half to say i am looking at one of the Browning offerings, as i am a Browning, and Weatherby guy.

Some might start kicking around the idea of doing the paper work on a .338 Suppressor. Due to the fact a 8.6 Creedmoor is going to be a bunch of fun. Subsonic or super sonic out of a 1-3 to 1-5 twist. Optimized for short barrels. Perfect for a 12.5” AR10 pistol, brace of course. It will be playing chess while the .300 Blkout is still playing checkers.

Reloading for a heavy pistol doesn't sound like much fun. Checkers sounds better

Factory ammo will be available. I would rather run a AR10 pistol with brace and a 12” or so barrel , keeping it in more or less the AR15 weight class. Full size AR10’s can get HEAVY. Chess. 22-24” AR’s are heavy.

Factory ammo will be a rip which is why people will handload it. We already have AR10 pistols and they are not popular because of cost/weight. I get the idea but it should have been developed before blackout.

I don't get the hate. The 6.5 Creedmoor is an excellent deer cartridge. Factory ammo is readily available and inexpensive. Does it fill a niche that wasn't already there?

I don't get the hatred either. It's one of those calibers like 40 S&W where people have some weird preoccupation with not using it. Like they have to constantly tell us about why they don't use it.

pot meet kettle kind of thing.  Creedmoor shooters will be the first to tell you they shoot a creedmoor and how great it is

that in spades! They're almost as bad as vortex users

No hair for a bun here. I have a 6.5 creed savage lwh killed my buck last year at 411 yds out of a 20 in barrel. Manly enough for me. I wouldn't have taken that shot with either of my .308 rifles. Lower recoil like it enough I'm buying another one today from the classifieds. I will say my 6.5x284 is my preference but have found the creed very easy to load for and getting almost 2800 fps from a 20 inch barrel with 140 eldx. Works for me.
