Not a horse either. Hopefully a longer range paper puncher if it shoots.


CV 600 Alpha. Got it new for a tad over four on an auction before taxes and shipping. Athlon 8x34x56 for the aimer.
Waiting for a few more parts before I start it's training. Got 5 different factory match loads to try. Start shooting as is then bed the action and retry the loads then try bedding barrel if needed then move on to handloads. Be my summer play time.

Caliber?

One I swore I'd never buy

Saw the light when looked at the ballistics on that 6.5 140° bullets slapped in a 308 capacity case sounds like also known as the 6.5 creedmoor or man bun.

I had a custom 260 rem built before the creed came out because of the low recoil and less wind drive ft and drop than 300 win at 1000. Few had heard of it. Then the creed came out exact same ballistics but much better support and sickening marketing.

It is a 6.5 CM. It checks the boxes for a play around tree pulp killer but is limited to that as it's pros. If I bought it to hunt with I'd of went another route.

Say what you will but my 260 has impressed me more on deer than my old 06.

not another 6.5 thread..

Terminal performance is 99% velocity, energy and bullet design. If those are equal it matters 0 what it was launched from.

Now I understand why you didn't want to say....

Putting that horse check to good use!

I loved my .260.

Had there been the 6.5mm bullet selection there is now, I still might be shooting one.

People can rip on the 6.5s all they want (and I get it, they are maybe over hyped), but they are pretty darn impressive.

It Will keel

Started out wanting a 243/6mm fast twist but figured I'd start out with the 6.5. Already looking for the action for the 243 though.

yes I decided to use a little for play around coin

I don’t mind my 6.5 I just have a 300 weatherby casing necked downed push it.

I like ur style

… looks like crap yessir … but live and let live i guess

I like the 6.5 caliber. I have rifles in 6.5 CM, 6.5 PRC, 260 and a 264 WM.

I had a M70 FW in 6.5x55 that I wish I had back.

They just flat work

Lol beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Now if u would have said it looked gay I'd of been hurt....
I only care about how close it draws circles to each other

We need a picture of your man bun, lol.
