Sanity Check - 6.5c vs 6c

[StupidLightweight]

Like always, 6mm Creed for the win. It's the best round for most hunters on most game in most places. If you can shoot, it'll work great on elk.

maybe im missing something here but what is the advantage to going to these smaller calibers? i can understand wanting less recoil. but we arent talking about a 300wm or even 30-06 here.... of all the caliber options we have available to us, i just cant understand the logic of wanting to find the smallest caliber possible that does the job, which in turn just limits your abilities and opportunities..... i mean just because ya can, doesnt mean ya should.

Whole thread on that exact question.

What caused the Rokslide shift to smallest caliber and cartridges?

There's a TON of posts on cartridge selection and bullet threads that go "have you read" the following: 1) the .223 thread 2) the 6mm thread 3) the 6.5mm thread I've read those, and see a lot of animals and wound channels. I likely missed the nexus or catalyst for what has created this, but...

6mm. less recoil. more speed. more better.
neither makes things more deader tho.
probably just buy both.

Bill Gates initially thought the internet would make adults more responsible by providing more ready access to information but has come to realize it has mostly allowed whackos to find one another and unite.

Not sure where we fall on that continuum…

This is about as succinct of a summation as I have seen to this date...

I thought Al Gore created the internet?

The gun I settled on was the Seekins Havak PH2 (urban camo because orange is the best)

Nooo..... he discovered Global Warming, the Ozone Layer & let's not forget, above all, he saved us from Manbearpig.

The real question is what chambering did you choose?

 

[Ophidian]

I haven’t. Waiting for shot show first.

The first time I picked that Seekins up I was like, oh ya, we could be friends. Those feel really nice.

I own a Seekins Element 6mm CM and a Wby Backcountry Ti 6.5 CM. Both 5.5 - 6lb guns. The 6mm has noticeably less recoil in similar weight set ups. Highly recommend the Seekins in a 6mm

 

[Ophidian]

The closest place I can get my hands on one to handle is 3.5 hours one way. Gonna just throw caution to the wind and order (post shot show)

The most realest question is what chambering would be best to take down a creature that was half man, half bear, and….. half pig?

It's not a question of caliber, it's your willingness to give up soy sauce & Red Dead Redemption II.

Im saving for this exact same next rifle. Love the orange

It doesn’t matter, the 6mm and the 6.5mm threads on here are both chocked full of dead shit

6 creed: good trajectory but very short barrel life.
Almost like a 264 Win. Go through an 8 pound jug of powder and order the next with a barrel.

Of the two it's easy to pick 6.5 unless you're affected by the small caliber craze of RS. 6.5 CM barrel life isn't great but liveable. The 308 you can borrow will outlast 2 of them though.

This is the correct answer. The whole "look at the 223 thread" is irrelevant. The recoil difference for 98% of shooters is a non factor.

I’m sure you have thought about already but what about the 6 arc. Also midway has a sale on certain 6mm bullets right now.
