Over rated - not exactly the word that came to mind a few weeks ago when I was at 1000 yards dinging steel. The part that had me thinking was the fellow next to me hitting the 5" steel - 10 times in a row - also at 1k yards.
Yup, I can think of hundreds of calibers that will do that all day long.......... |

Spent most of the day yesterday shooting my 6.5x47 and 6.5 creedmoor at a thousand yards. My shooting partners had another 6.5x47 and 6mm creedmoor.
Hitting 12x16 plates was not a problem the clay birds at 900 was getting the best of us

The only thing keeping me from getting in on that fad is brass. I can’t convert from something cheap. It’s already keeping me from spending any time at all with my 338 (well that and all the prep work). And I’m already short on brass for the calibers I have.
I like the idea though. I like my 7mm-08, and eventually will likely build the PSA lower I have into either it or the 6.5. |

However it is extremely easy to convert .243 brass to 6.5 Creedmoor, you can also convert .308 brass but it takes another couple of steps. In fact I started out with converted .243 brass back when 6.5 Creedmoor brass was hard to get. |

I don't know why you would want to convert brass, 6.5 Creedmoor brass is relatively inexpensive. However it is extremely easy to convert .243 brass to 6.5 Creedmoor, you can also convert .308 brass but it takes another couple of steps. All my 7mm-08 was made from range pickup 308. I stocked up on once fired during the panic buying. Converted my 308 to a 338 then picked up the 7mm cause I missed having a short action. |

So is .260 Rem. But they are a good intermediate between .308 Win and .300WM, and are semi-auto.
I use a 230 Berger at 2850 fps in .300WM when I really need long range performance. The 6.5 class is just to make hits a little easier than .308. |
