    6.5 creedmoor vs 6.5x47 lapua

    Bingo. If people understood how military procurement works they’d die. How many of you went to SOFIC in may? It’s not as cool as it used to be but if you are the money guy and x brand loads you up with Benchmades,Surefire, Leatherman, gerber, kestrel etc..... some of the swag handed out is...

    6.5 creedmoor vs 6.5x47 lapua

    I did talk to my buddies at socom, i have my .mil email if you need it. it’s really close, and the 6.5 was not exactly picked like people think. Nothing is picked like people think. There are a lot of bean counters playing major roles, not to mention retired guys lobbying hard, so the...

    Thank you so much for the response. Little more about me. I do like reloading and I will buy Lapua brass and probably Berger 140s.

    6.5 creedmoor vs 6.5x47 lapua

    True but I think anyone is going to second guess when most are biased against one. It’s funny because the argument wasn’t about the function it was based in personal likes and dislikes of things surrounding the issue but not the issue. Example hating the Yankees is one thing saying the AL is...

    Thanks man. I’ve taken reloading dies out of my cart 5x today. I didn’t think this was gonna be a reticle debacle the OP had a great? And I was hoping people could answer. I’m guessing they don’t know so they rant about things unrelated

    6.5 creedmoor vs 6.5x47 lapua

    I give up you are on a different planet. You keep bringing up costs. You said the 6.5 could be as accurate then say buy the 7.5. Can you even see your own contradictions??? I don’t care frank says it’s cheaper the way I’ll load it’s the same. So I’m building a rifle and all the stuff I’ve...

    6.5 creedmoor vs 6.5x47 lapua

    You are kidding me right? So when people mention accuracy you all jumped and said no. When someone said SD and ES you all said BS use a 6.5 with small primers. So all the x47 bashers are basically saying the x47 is a Lapua only brass 6.5 creed.

    6.5 creedmoor vs 6.5x47 lapua

    Noted. I reload because once you get a 100-150fps between production numbers you get gun shy. If I’m buying brass I’m buying Lapua which is 1$ and lasts so long it’s like a 2-4 cent case. So .04 case, 0.05 primer, .40 bullet, .25 powder. Not to mention I know that every case is getting the...

    6.5 creedmoor vs 6.5x47 lapua

    But if you reload its the same. Same powder, bullets, and brass costs the same. The brass is "bullet proof" Thats why I am asking the differences. Because reloading costs the same amount The brass ends up being 2 cents a rounds after the 50 firings. So if everything costs the same...

    6.5 creedmoor vs 6.5x47 lapua

    What is that? he asked what is the difference in cartridges... if I go to brunos, the load I want to use costs the same. Brass is the same powder is the same and bullet is the same. SO why should i pick 6.5 over the 6.5x47? Again I am not looking for you to help me make a choice. I am...

    6.5 creedmoor vs 6.5x47 lapua

    but wouldn' t that say the x47 was slightly above the 6.5? If I can shoot one more because its cheaper then i should be much better of a shooter than the x47 guy( given he shoots less) because I have more time behind the gun. I am asking because I am about to build a 6.5 or a 6.5x47

    6.5 creedmoor vs 6.5x47 lapua

    So then what, in your opinion, makes one different from the other? Because I agree, having the best toys does not ensure a win, or everyone would have the same best toy.

    6.5 creedmoor vs 6.5x47 lapua

    So if a guy wins a match that shouldn’t mean much. So Can’t the same be applied to the 6.5cm being easy to find ammo for? Seeing brass bullets and powder cost the same..... So why have 6.5x47 if the 6.5cm is the same but cheaper? This is a serious question.

    6.5 creedmoor vs 6.5x47 lapua

    People say that coupled with the small primer makes it more accurate. I'll try to find some tests proving that but I think its out there that the 6.5x47 is more accurate consistently. http://www.accurateshooter.com/featured/65x47/

    Range Report Odd DOPE results - What am I missing?

    depending on the rifle and barrel yeah. I have seen it on hot days it heats up fast. If you are burning your hands and running a stock barrel it coudl do that for the last 5-10 shots.

    Did you overheat your barrel? That will cause what you are talking about.
