How did the 6.5 Creedmoor lose steam so quickly?

Same in Sportsmen's warehouse the lil 6.5 Needmoor is the popular fade...

I mean it’s a fad that’s been around for more than a decade now….

26 Nosler, its like a 6.5 Creedmoor except for MEN.

What if you identify as a non binary chimera what do you shoot then?

Primarily 6.5 284 Norma as i am not a sheeple. I also shoot 26 nosler and 6.5 300 wby in 6.5 cartridges. 6.5CM is a great bench rest target round, I will never use it for hunting.

Good to know, what makes 6.5 man bun a good benchrest round?

Idk, if I had to pick one cartridge to kill everything inside 600y, and I was limited to factory ammo only, the 65cm is the logical choice. Everyone chambers a rifle in it, from $300 rifles to $4000 rifles, and there is ammo of 37 flavors available online, and usually serval at any hardware or gun store. Personally I much prefer the 6mm version, but 65 does the trick with a touch more recoil and a lil more twisting of the turrets. It's not dead and never will be.

The Ole 65, best bullet ever.

The 6.5 Creedmoor is a well balanced cartridge. Good barrel life, light recoil, high BCs, and effective against a lot of the game most folks hunt in the US.

A pound of H4350 yields about 150 rounds of 6.5 CM, so it’s rather economic to load as well.

Is the 6.5 CM losing steam in the room with us right now?

 

[littlebigtine]

No, just someone who doesn't like to spend money on car repairs. But I will admit it is an ugly vehicle.

You know whats funny? The 2024 Honda Ridgeline is apparently the “most american made truck” of that year.

It certainly has not fallen off a cliff, its within the top 5 selling for both cartridges and rifles by nearly any measure. In a forum with a bunch of long range gun nerds it likely does not get a lot of attention but to the larger world its super popular. The military is also adopting it for precision rifles now which will only add to this.

I bought one this winter, not because it was the best but I wanted this rifle to be a very common cartridge for easy availability absolutely everywhere. Its not the top performer but it hangs with the 308 in availability and the 270 in performance with 25% less recoil than either of them which is a unique intersection that appeals to me.
