6 vs 6.5 Creedmoor opinions wanted

[unclecroc]

Every 6mm cm I've played with, 6 or so now, throw 41-42gr H4350 in there with a heavy for cal high bc bullet 30-50k off and shoot half minute groups. The 65cm has required more tweaking. I've had no issues killing deer sized game at shorter distance to beyond 700 with the 6mm. I think it's a fantastic cartridge.

H4350 and the 6 creed go together like peas and carrots.

Meanwhile, I'm over here shooting the .308 win and not a care in the world about barrel life. I dropped a cow elk with it at 600 yards last week so the distance thing is fine….for me. With a suppressor, recoil is manageable.

If I had to choose between the two you mentioned…6.5 CM.

I have both and reload, each are fairly easy to reload, and both great options, but the 6cm has no recoil in my Aero Solis rifle. I shoot 115grn tubb bullets, and I have taken it out to a mile! I enjoy them both if I could only have one I would have the 6 who cares about barrel life! It is not that expensive to change one out. Good luck bud

I'm kind of in the same boat with 6x47L and 6.5x47L. It started with a 6.5 years ago and then a 6X47. I rarely shoot the 6.5 anymore.

As a varmint hunter, I haven't shot them beyond 350 yards, but I shoot the 115 RDF all the way to 1400.
