Thread: Real world ranges for 6.5 creedmoor

If you reload and are wanting max range from a short hunting rig you may want to go for a .260 over a 6.5 Creedmoor simply because a shorter 260 will produce the same fps as a longer 6.5 creedmoor.

I actually just took back a 6.5 Creedmoor and swapped it for a 260 for this reason. If you don't reload and are using factory ammo and don't care so much about barrel length I'd go for the 6.5 Creedmoor as .260 ammo is not as common.
