Help me pick my next caliber

6br or 6.5 creedmoor?

  • 6BR

    Votes: 16 43.2%
  • 6.5 Creedmoor

    Votes: 21 56.8%

Hey guys, I’m looking for help on choosing my next barrel. I currently shoot a .223 with 77gr bullets going ~ 2850 out of an origin action. Iv narrowed it down to either a 6br or a 6.5 creedmoor. My .223 barrel still has plenty of life on it, Iv just got the itch. Here’s my logic and list of pros/cons for each.

6br pro’s

Still kind of cheep to shoot once up and running

low powder consumption, and I have similar powders on hand for the .223 I currently have

Stupid accurate with minimal load development

Low recoil

Excellent brass life

6br cons

Possible feeding issues

No off the shelf ammo, but that’s kind of a null point bc I’ll reload for either

Not much performance gained over the .223 , about 30 grain heavier bullet going about the same speed.

Not much more range potential than my current set up

Still may be hard to spot misses at distance

6.5 creedmoor pros

Components are prevalent and everywhere

Great bc bullets

More knock down power in a hunting scenario

Extended range by a long shot (pun intended) to my current set up

Can see splash better on misses

Everyone has one

6.5 creedmoor cons

More expensive to shoot

More recoil

Can be harder to develop a load vs 6br


I’d like to shoot atleast 1 PRS match a year, and 1 f class match a year, both strictly for fun and for the ability to shoot longer ranges, as my ranges aren’t long. I know, I could do this with my current set up, and that’s what I’ll do in the mean time. If I had closer access to a long range I probably wouldnt go shoot matches at all. My ranges are 100 and 150 yards. There’s a range 30 min away that is 700 yards, but it’s hard to get into and I’m not a member. There’s another range 2.5 hours away that’s 1000 yards that I might join, but realistically I’ll go there maby twice a year. At my hunting camp, 5 hours away, we have 280 yards, and there’s a range near by to that that goes out to a mile, again that would be a once or twice a year thing. I’ll be shooting suppressed, and whichever I choose now, I’ll likely get the other one in 2 or 3 years anyway. I live in the north east, so nothing is wide open ranges up here like out west.
So, what do you think?

Rifle Scopes S&B Klassik, VX5 or SHV 3-10?

Just picked up this late '70s BDL 7 Mag for a sweet deal and I'm looking to add a trustworthy scope.

20240306_094225.jpg


I'm going to use it as a dedicated elk/nilgai/western rifle as well a loaner for deer here in TX. Most of my shots are sub 300, but I'd like to be able to dial or hold for 650/700 if possible. Illumination would be neat, but not a deal breaker.

Torn between 3/4 scopes, and I've only had experience with one. Trying to see if there is an obvious choice here, or maybe I'm reading too far into it and getting paralysis by analysis.

SHV 3-10x42 MOAR w/PA - have this today on a .223. Might not fit on a long action easily. Reticle leaves some to be desired sometimes.

S&B Klassik 3-12x42 - Probably what I want the most, would have to buy used and I'd want the mil based reticle. Seems like it checks the boxes.

S&B Klassik 2.5-10x56 - Same deal as above, not sure if I'd miss the extra 2x or hate the bigger bell compared to the 3-12.

VX5 3-15 - Seem like a good option with 3x or 5x extra and some solid features. But the internet tells me to hate this one.

Which would you choose and why?

SOLD Really Right Stuff TFCT-24L with Anvil-30

A lovingly used 24L tripod and Anvil-30.

There is no leg damage, the Anvil functions flawlessly, it is not an R-Lock model, and there is one small ding on the top of the Anvil that is strictly cosmetic.

Everything is fully functional and would still be in use if not for the fact that I upgraded to a larger leg diameter.

I'll cover shipping & shipment insurance.

No trades. PayPal, Venmo, Zelle, Google Pay, money order, or cashier check will be accepted as payment methods. Friends and Family or the buyer must pay fees for Goods and Services.

The first "I'll take it" in this thread gets the item stated. This item is listed on other forums.

I will honor the earliest date/time stamp on the post on whatever forum was first.

$1100

PRS - Shooting with Hand on Scope

On a lot of positional stages, I feel most comfortable with my hand on the scope, rather than extended, clinching the bag and side of my chassis.

Right now, I just have regular rings and my bubble level there where I put my hand and it's kind of hard to get the same hold each time.

Would I be better off getting a Vortex Diving Board or a set of Hawkins rings that has the bubble installed along with the pic rail for better hand placement?

Just curious how others find the best setup for your hand placement, if you are a shooter who put their hand on the scope? TIA.
