That guy with 101 rifles who just bought another one in the newest hype cartridge..?

I just hope he's going to get out and shoot it.

And I think he should buy another rifle.

---

..

HEY...KNOCK IT OFF..

I'm that guy..

Ha ha.

I don't have 101 rifles. But I do have too many I have never shot. And way too many I rarely shoot. Philosophically I am a "one gun hunter". Maybe I should limit myself to .223, .308 and .375. Ha ha, a bit boring. Should get some of these old rare birds shooting.

the more publicity of calibers like this, rifles like this, the more people buy, shoot and just plain participate in.. which is good for all of us.. we need as many shooters, hunters, etc. out there as we can get..

---

That's it.
Right there.

Get more Americans behind accurate rifles, shooting them and enjoying the sport.

---

Sorry Tink, couldn't resist.

That's it.
Right there.

Get more Americans buying their 101th rifles, based on advertising "need".

Why is there no comparison to the 264 Win Mag in that article?

Lots of advertised currently selling rifles though.

---

Believe the .264W in not considered to have the same advantages, whether real or perceived, by the LR shooting public... long action and to quote Daryl, has that needless belt..

I don't see anyone shooting a 264W mag in any of the competitions I read about or any school I have attended..not even mentioned.. I do think its a very good big game caliber.. seems to be perfectly fine to hit the bullseye on elk on more than one occassion..

No gun writers are writing about it, with newly chambered rifles in it to sell.

I've been watching this thread for sometime and thought I would interject my thoughts as limited as they might be.
I purchased a 6.5 Creedmoor a year or so past. Its an over the counter Rem 700 tactical, the only thing I've done to it is restock it with a carbon fiber stock and change the trigger. I've been a handloader since the early 1960's and loaded for many different cartridges, I don't believe I have ever found a cartridge easier to load for to achieve pinpoint accuracy. This rifle and cartridge will consistently put three rounds in sub 1/2" groups at 100 yards, and I'm certainly no Chris Kyle.
I have several friends who own this cartridge on different platforms that have expressed the same comments.

AND there you have it...

What you have found, thousands of others have as well.. a super accurate and easy cartridge..what's not to love???

I was shooting factory 6.5CM ammo recently--granted, in this case it was a custom rifle with a proof barrel..but it was also a trainer..has had thousands of rounds through it.. my first group with that rifle at 100 to check zero was basically a one holer.. Hornady factory ammo--140gr...

NO flies with this one, real or perceived ..

With the really love it or really hate it attitude towards the 6.5CM, its doing exactly what it was designed for.. LR competitions

---

And think, I bought a cut back Swedish Mauser M96 in 6.5x55 for $100, and it shot tiny sub MOA groups (ie 3 shot single hole groups, not much bigger than a single bullet calibre) with Swedish "ex-mil" (Match) FMJ ammo and its mil stepped barrel. A $100 rifle made a hundred years ago with a cartridge older than that which can outshoot all these multi thousand dollars "LR" rigs shooting some modern copycat cartridge.

Admittedly it now has a cheapo plastic stock. And needs it two stage mil trigger replaced with something better.

Bring that with when you come over here. I'll take you out to the LR shooting area.. we will take turns starting at 600 and work our way out.. see how it does...
