7mm Remington Magnum vs 6.5 Creedmore. I am looking for a new rifle and I am in a crossroads in between two cartridges. 7 mm Remington Magnum and the smaller round 6.5 Creedmoor. First off, I will be shooting at maximum ranges of 1000 m to 1500 m and will be hunting at ranges of 500 m to 1000 m. The cost of the two rounds is very similar in my ...
They offer a 1:7 twist 25" barrel for 6.5, 1:8.7 twist 27" barrel for 7mm, and 1:10 twist 25" barrel for the .308 ($345 + $10/inch up to 32"). I have also read that the .308 has a longer barrel life because of the larger caliber outlet on the brass case for gas to escape causing less barrel throat wear. I have also read that the 7mm-08 would be ...
Look at the available commercial ammo for 6.5 Creedmore. Nada for hunting under 120 gr. In the same wt. firearm the recoil will be less with .243 Win. 243 ammo is available in various loads that work fine for deer. If the lady likes to shoot the rifle she gets, she will be a lot better hunter.
The 6.5 Creedmoor is getting a lot of great press as "the" cartridge of the moment for long range target shooting. From a ballistics perspective the 243 and 6.5 are almost identical out 1100 meters with the 243 having an edge as far as bullet drop is concerned. At 1100yd both have been in the air for 1.8 sec and drift in 10mph cross wind is ...
On paper the 7-08 looks better out to 400ish yards. In performance no animal will ever notice the difference. Beyond 400ish yards 6.5 wins and does it with significantly less recoil. Beyond 700 yards 6.5 Creed with 140's matches or beats 300 WM with 180 gr bullets.
My question is how does the 6.5 creedmoor compare.6.5 Creedmoor had less recoil, doubled hit probability at 1,000 meters, had a 33% longer effective range, retained 30% more energy at 1,000 meters, and had 40% less wind drift at 1,000 meters, but how does compare in tissue? Lets say for a hunting round. I know socom evaluated it to replace the ...
There are far more options for really great bullets and factory loads in 6.5 Creedmoor. Recoil is between 243 and 308, but much closer to 243. One of the huge advantages of 6.5 Creedmoor is that Hornady has made very good match grade factory loads readily available and reasonably priced. You can get match grade factory loads priced at about $30 ...
Join Date: March 16, 2019. Posts: 71. 6.5 Grendel or 350 Legend. I'm looking to buy a rifle for my 10 year old son. He's average size, 5' tall & 80lbs. This will be used in PA for primarily deer, but the occasional coyote and possibly start hog hunting. I want to get something light in recoil and our shooting is generally under 100 yards.
Quote: 1. All other things being equal, the 6.5 creedmoor will always lag behind the .260 remington in velocity, due to less powder capacity in the creedmoor. 2. The .260 remington has the largest ratio of case capacity to bore volume of the three cartridges. The 6.5 creedmoor and the 7mm-08 are essentially identical.
The 6.5 Creedmoor shoots 140-147 gr bullets about 100-150 fps slower than 308 and 270 shoots 150 gr bullets at the muzzle. With recoil only slightly more than 243. At the muzzle 308 and 270 shows a very slight edge in power, but the more aerodynamic 6.5mm bullets mean they catch up to 308 and pass it within a very short distance.
