Why am I so confused?

[Smoov82]

New to bolt action and apologize for all the questions! Still waiting on my RPR 6.5 Creedmoor to arrive.

Could someone explain to me the range of caliber 6.5 Creedmoor falls in? Ex: a 40 caliber falls between 9mm, 40, 45.

Bore Guide! Wanting to order Possum Hollow but their site isn’t informative. Went to midway and the Possum Hollow #5 says Ruger but nothing else. Have looked on forums, read reviews, etc and can’t find a concrete answer. Wanting the solvent port with the bore guide. Any suggestions on which bore guide and solvent port to buy for the 6.5 Creedmoor?


Solvent! I’ve always used Hoppes 9! Still a good product? Was about to purchase Shooters Choice #7 and read where it caused rust.

Any help is appreciated!
Thanks

6.5 falls between 6mm and 7mm...about right in the middle but thats a wag. 6.5 in 'Merica is .264 and it falls between .243 and .284

Hoppes products are still good.

for me it's easy to remember that .40 = 10mm, so just extrapolate from there. .4 / 10 * 6.5 = .260.

You can do long devision or go read this...

It is between a 6mm and 7mm obviously. Rifles can vary much more than pistol cartridges. The diameter of 6mm and 7 mm is not that great but the difference in capacity of a 6mm Remington and a 7mm Remington magnum is substantial. Do a google search and you will have all you want to read on calibers

Call Possum Hollow. I have purchased several bore guides from him including one for my RPR. I forget his name, but he is very helpful.

Barnes, Sweets 7.62, or Boretech CU+2 for removing copper, M Pro 7 bore gel or Boretech tech eliminator bore cleaner for general cleaning.

Awesome, thanks for the update with the exact info!

I have always used hoppes9 too but recently tried the boretech c2 and c4 and I guess it works better but thats just guessing as I dont have a borescope. I probably wont buy anymore after I use all this unless I can find a good deal on it that makes it hoppes price level.
