Did I just miss it somewhere?
I shot a two man sniper match last year and there was a lot of talk about 6.5. Seemed most guys didn't love it if memory serves me right.
Are there a lot more custom off the shelf loads for it?
Refresh my memory. 6.5 needs a large frame AR10 lower doesn't it?
Come shoot some F-class at OKCGC. Take the compensator off your 3G AR15/AR10 and shoot it. Bring 80 rounds of Federal GMM/BH/match ammo.
There's nothing magical about 6.5mm bullets but they do offer a tempting(the best) combination of bench rest accuracy, low recoil, high BC, longer barrel life than high performance 6mm/7mm, and high efficiency. If you don't give a **** about recoil, barrel life, or efficiency, 6.5 chamberings are outpaced by modern magnums.
He said he didnt want to reload . so off the shelf 6.5 creedmore is the best bang for the buck................factory loaded 140 amax...... and his his 3G (223) with the FGM will trump a creedmore ....NOPE......
I don't think he said that the .223 would trump the 6.5C, but that he could bring it out and run it to try.
