[QUOTE="MoBoost, post: 1594346, member: 3455"] There seems to be a lot of buzz about the 6.5 Creedmoor. I've been reading about it for days now. Why? What's so special about it? What am I missing? How much different is it from 260 Rem? They claim you can load 140gn VLDs in short action - so can 260. They claim the neck is long and will support VLD - but it is identical to 260. They claim it's more efficient - not according to published/tested loads; with smaller case capacity you can push it to 260 level with MUCH higher pressure and therefore throat erosion. They claim you can buy match-grade ammo over-the-counter - ok, they got me here, but 1) it seems that Hornady chose NOT to make 260 2) at $26/box - logical choice would be to reload anyway Please chime in. P.S. 6.5x47 barrel on order BTW :) [/QUOTE]
