Thinking of a new build

[Nick Caprinolo]

I have a Ruger PRP in 6.5 Creedmoor. It is stupid accurate at 100 yards. I have been mulling over a 6mm Creedmoor on a Remington SA.

Wonder if anyone can tell me if that caliber is worth building. Is it more accurate that the 6.5 Creedmoor?

 

[300_whisper]

It’s the same. Splitting hairs. I own both and like both. Only issue is barrel life on the 6CM. The 6.5CM has slightly more recoil from a similar weight/ style gun.

Nick! Look at 6 xc and get away from that Creedmoor crowd!

Nick! Look at 6 xc and get away from that Creedmoor crowd!

Why?

 

[300_whisper]

Why?

bc its edgy to be different.

 

[joshb]

I guess because I came of age in the 70’s. If the crowd moves left, I move right.
Besides, David Tubb did pretty good with it. I have one and it’s a laser.

#3 reason - the mighty Talisman may show up at your door, and then you might start wearing strange clothes.

Ha, JK with the Angry thing, I shoot a 6.5 CM and don't have a manbun, not enough hair back there.

What about a 6 Dasher? It may not be right for your discipline though.

Just tugging the strings. I have a Tikka and a Winchester 70 in 6.5 Creedmoor. For a little bigger 6, I’d rather have the 6xc.

I love the Cartridge, when I was learning to reload I found it easy to tune and make adjustment, I think in my F Class group only two of is shoot them regularly. I think I am going to assemble a .284 for 1000 yards, mine is nearing 2500 rds and is actually shooting good, or I have figured out how to shoot better.

You said your 6.5 is stupid accurate, how much more do you want?
Your just getting bored and want to move on.
The Dasher or 6x47 would be a good choice, if your looking at a 6mm

6mm Creedmoor is a great round. Have a Ruger PR in it and just had a Remington 700 re-barreled in it too. True, barrel life is not the best, but have found it a very accurate round and easy to reload for.

 

[Idaho-Lefty]

Why?

Longer Neck to seat bullets as Throat wears, slightly less Powder, 500- 800 Rounds of, BETTER, Barrel "Life" and the LONG VLD, 108's - 110's FIT in a Rem 700 short action, Magazine and,. FEED properly ! Very BEST 1,000 yard Round,.. UN-less Wind blowing, WITH,.. LOTS of WINS !
I could go on But, do your own research as I tend to, .. Lie a lot !
A SWEET Cart.,.. Thank you,. David Tubb !

The 6BRX seems to be kicking some butt lately. I have my 6mmBR at Zack's now getting some major surgery done and converting to the 6BRX.

 

[Uncle Mike]

Won't the 6.5x47 Lapua do everything and more than the 6.5 Creedmoor with less powder and less recoil?

 

[DirtySteve]

Following with interest... I have a 40X action with no barrel.... Leaning toward a 6 BRA...

 

[300_whisper]

He already has a 6.5CM. He’s asking about the 6CM. I say go for it. New gun, new ballistics, new learning.

 

[Cigarcop]

I would completely disagree with this…… I’ve built quite a few 6creeds that shoot amazing.

 

[Nick Caprinolo]

What ever I do, looks like I am a year away from actually having a finished product in my hands. Barrels are now taking a lot longer to get. Then there is gunsmith time. I have seen a few Remington 700 clones that look interesting and may go that rout. The reason for the Remington actions is that stocks are readily available and I just like that action. I already have four of them and there are lots of triggers out there. This will be a bench rest gun. I don't shoot in competitions, I just like punching small holes in paper and I don't like shooting the same rifle over and over.

I wonder why the 6BR is said to burn out barrels so fast. If that is the 6BR Norma, it looks like it is a low velocity round with a low powder charge. How can it wear out barrels so fast? I usually try to find a barrel with a twist rate that allows for heavy bullets. I have had good luck with slower velocities at 100 yards.
