Beats a stick in the eye, and a 243. Ouch! I’ve got a .243 and a stick whapped me in the eye coming out of the woods last night. But did you kill any skwerls with your pop gun?

So. What do I call my 6.5 PRC to separate me from the gayness? A badarse caliber that the creedmoor wants to be.

It’s a great shooting caliber, but for what I do with a rifle, I prefer the 308 or 270. Before the ammo shortage, I would occasionally got to my buddy’s range and we’d do some long range shooting out to 600yds. The creedmoor was the rifle I’d shoot and was ideal for this. It’s just personal preference to hunt with the above mentioned rifles.

I guess it's just like referring to 308 as a generic designation when people really are talking about the .308 Win. Hardly anyone has actually seen a 308 Marlin Express and thus it is of little consequence.
By far, the 6.5 Creedmoor is currently the most popular of the caliber and thus has earned the same shorthand.
Midway USA list list the following for rifle ammo options for the various 6.5 cartridges. The 80 entries for the 6.5 Creedmoor is almost 1/2 of the total
6.5 Grendel (16)
6.5mm Carcano (1)
6.5x52mm Mannlicher-Carcano (2)
6.5x54mm Mannlicher-Schoenauer (1)
6.5 Creedmoor (80)
6.5 PRC (7)
6.5x47mm Lapua (4)
260 Remington (22)
6.5x55mm Swedish Mauser (19)
6.5x57mm Mauser (1)
6.5x57mm Rimmed (1)
6.5mm-284 Norma (7)
264 Winchester Magnum (6)
26 Nosler (5)
6.5-300 Weatherby Magnum (4)

If I ever refer to my .308 Marlin Express, I call it the 308mx. I also grab this rifle before the 6.5 creedmoor.

Totally forgot about the 308 Norma. Midway has one entry ... $80.99 per box of 20, available and in stock. Quantity limit of 3 boxes.

I hear out west they call it the Broke back Creedmoor and when you buy one it comes with tent and a free listing on Grinder. LOL! It truly is the Liberace of rifle cartridges.
The best index to a person’s character is (a) how he treats people who can’t do him any good, and (b) how he treats people who can’t fight back.

I’ve never laid eyes on one or even seen the ballistics. I just like needling folks in good humor. Might be the real cure for Covid for all I know.
