Yes

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 elephant dung 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......

6.5 creedmore isn't off the shelf best at anything. Just bring what you're going to shoot and get better at shooting it.

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.

New studies suggest that reading comprehension is down among forum members.
