Big fan of Monty Python here as well, but can any of you legitimately claim to have walked more than a mile in blizzard conditions to school, up steep hills in both directions. That's a reality where I live.
I love that, huge Monty Python fan here. Me and my buddies have had this running gag gong on for 30 years. Absolute nonsense to drive to the range, or hunting , or anywhere with us.
Air ? we never had air when I was a child ...........
Liver, I wish I had a Liver. No one in the family had a liver, spleen either. When I was a child we used to dream bout having all our internal organsSo then......uhh...can we have your liver?????
Walk to school. Let me tell you, as children we were chained to a wagon wheel and spun our way to school and that was during a fire, in the snow we had to lick a steel plate so as our tung would stick to it then mom would drag us up hill to school.Big fan of Monty Python here as well, but can any of you legitimately claim to have walked more than a mile in blizzard conditions to school, up steep hills in both directions.

You're lucky you actually got to attend school. I was rarely ever unchained from the wall in the back corner of the basement.Walk to school.

Steep hill, I wish
Curious if it had been marketed as a 6.5x50mm instead of the 6.5 Creedmoor, if it would be more popular on this forum.
You guy's had a basement....well aren't we the lucky one....You're lucky you actually got to attend school. I was rarely ever unchained from the wall in the back corner of the basement.
It’s not that. It’s the magical properties that get attributed to it by people that have consumed “The Creed” KoolAid and jumped off the Rational Train.Curious if it had been marketed as a 6.5x50mm instead of the 6.5 Creedmoor, if it would be more popular on this forum.
Yep...albeit and 40deg improved version (Bob Jourdan Ackley). It has served me well, good barrel life. (but loses out to the Creedmoor past 2300ydsDoes anyone shoot the 6.5x55 Swede? Pretty popular in Europe! Noted as a very accurate round!

I didn't realize the Creedmoor would make it over 2,300 yards! News to me! Almost 1.3 miles!
Correct me if wrong. 1760 yards equals "1" mile!
Greg Walley came up with the 6.5x55 GWI.
I’m really dredging up some stuff here and am out on a limb with respect to my failing memory, but I think there might have also been a 7x55 GWI.
I’m getting old and I’ve had several concussions, so don’t hold me to that. It might have been something that I thought about myself when I was in the early stages of the 7x47 Lapua that I shoot. I just needed a shorter case than the Swedenor even the 308 family. Had Lapua produced SRP brass for the Creedmoor at the time, I *might* have used that as my base case. Maybe. The 6.5x47 is the perfect length. If it had just a hair more capacity...well, we all like velocityNever heard of the 7 but I did consider the 6.5 GWI...but I found a package deal on Jourdan including reamer/brass/WTC die. Otherwise I'd have chosen the Walley.
You are correct. Concerning the Creedmoor....that is what the sales guy at Cabela's told me when I bought mine last April 1st.
Serious about the 6.5 x55 though....
