Why shoot a sissy rifle?

[birddog 68]

That's right, I birddog 68 shoot a sissy rifle. Not just any sissy rifle but a 6.5 creedmoor, the queen of sissies.
Some are afraid to mention that they shoot a skinny jeans man bun latte drinking rifle for fear that they will be ridiculed by their former friends. Not I.
I was looking for a rifle that would basically be a range rifle and was a little easier on my torn rotator cuff but wanted a bit more power than my 223 Remington. I wanted readily available brass and bullets and something that I wouldn't have to buy any powder that wasn't on my shelf already. The 6.5 CM checked all the boxes.
I ended up buying a Browning Xbolt western hunter last spring with a 24" barrel and yea it's even got a brake on it!
It's actually been boring working up loads for since it's shot everything good that I have tried so far.
I'm shooting 140 ELDM and 140 ballistic tip and have used IMR 4350, Ramshot hunter,W760 and staball 6.5 and it doesn't care what I fill the case with. It just shoots!
I'd like to hear what brought others to buy such a sissy rifle ?

I got mine for my wife to hunt plains game in Africa. It has now been improved to a BeanMore so I can shoot it.

I shot my MN buck this year with the hard hitting manbun...then to compensate I bought a giant jacked up truck, got a face tattoo and killed my SD buck with a 338 Ultra. (I didn't actually buy a giant jacked up truck or get a face tattoo)

Ha Ha I Love It.
I have had as many as 6 at one time, and have been shooting and loving them since 2007. As mentioned in a thread earlier I just got my C.A.Mesa back from my gunsmith. I had him take the 21" off which shot very well, but I wanted a 26" Kieger put on. Can't wait to get time to try it out.
Their you go I confess.

@birddog 68 now you have elevated my .270TH to "MAGNUM" status! Thankfully I drive a Ram 4x4 2500 Quad cab 8' box to carry my ammo!

Everyone feels like they are shooting a man cannon compared to the 6.5 creedmoor.

I keep hearing that it's the only factory cartridge capable of dropping a T-Rex in its tracks
