If you're only interested in steel at long range and not deer just do the creed. I read that as wanting to reach out on deer also.
Considering 6.5 Creed, 6.5 PRC, 6.5 SAUM, 6.5 GAP and possibly .260 Rem Ack Imp.
Basically a hunting rifle with some steel shooting for fun out to 1000 yards or more. Deer sized game or less.
Would like for my daughter to be able to use it for deer. She is already shooting .243 Win comfortably.
Reloading is no issue. Would certainly prefer readily available components and dies. Prefer Redding Bushing dies. Would like to build on a short action or medium action with a 26" proof carbon barrel with brake.
What do you guys think?

People can say what they want about the CM, but for its size it's no slouch. I've shot mine out to 1454 yards so far and it does just fine. I would however limit my hunting shots to 600 and in on deer just to be safe. It's an awesome deer and black bear roundFor you purpose, the CM will do everything you're wanting! I have 2 Creedmoors and a 6.5x284 that I do most of my hunting and culling with......all 3 are enjoyable to shoot.....but for deer and long range steel/target, the CM is more than enough! I shot one of mine out to 1300 yards at the NRA Whitttington Center and have taken many, many whitetail and hogs with the 6.5 CM. I have more rifles than I can easily fit in my large gun safe, but I choose these 3 rifles most of the time because they're a Real Pleasure to shoot! There's also a real good selection of factory ammo for the CM!
