THIS is why I chose 6.5 Creedmoor

And glad I did.

I just had to brag a little. Found this in a local shop that I usually can't find anything other than mall ninja gear.

LOL, I cleaned them out. They said they would order more though and that the distributer "had a ton". I hope the price was not an oversight!

It would not even be worth loading it for that!

Great, I thought I was leaning toward the .260.
Now maybe not so much.
Anyone know the price on Black Hills .260 match?

Re: THIS is why I chose 6.5 Creedmoor

Dude, if they get more in for that price hook a brotha up!

Re: THIS is why I chose 6.5 Creedmoor

That's cheap! Years ago when K-mart stopped selling ammo, a buddy of mine found a ton of 22-250 ammo for $1 a box of 20. He bought it all, then went a bought a 22-250!

Re: THIS is why I chose 6.5 Creedmoor

Thats a great price for a box of any centerfire caliber ammo let alone a relatively new one such as 6.5 Creedmoor.

That's $2.00 below wholesale cost.

Re: THIS is why I chose 6.5 Creedmoor

This is why I shoot it. One lot of factory 140 AMAX on the left in a 5 shot group and the new lot on the right in a 10 shot group. Can't complain about that.

Re: THIS is why I chose 6.5 Creedmoor

Wow, great price!
I still have to start reloading for it (my 6.5mm CM is about a month away), but at this price I'd get a few boxes of those too

Re: THIS is why I chose 6.5 Creedmoor

$16.00 a box? DAMN...It's $33.00/box on Hornady's site...Nice Steal...

 

[Blaster4]

Re: THIS is why I chose 6.5 Creedmoor

still $23.99 a box as of 10-02-09 on Midway USA website...and in stock.

HORNADY 6.5CM 140grain

Remington should just get smart and start chambering their PSS or whatever version they have now for this cartridge.

Seriously...why would any NEW shooter buy a rifle in .308 winchester ever again?

...long live the 6.5CM!!!!!!!

The 308 will never die, But i agree 150%. The creedmoor, or a 260rem is everything the 308 should have been! I have one comming home within a week or two. I cant hardly wait. I had one a couple years ago when they first came out and it is a great chambering. this time though i am putting the creedmoor on a custom action. Should be a hammer!! Lee

Re: THIS is why I chose 6.5 Creedmoor

I think when my 260 gets shot out I will try the 6.5cm due to ammo selection.
