Well the more I run it through this noggin of mine. It seems that to get the best results I need to reload. The 6.5 Creedmore, the 6.5-.284 are difficult to find factory ammo. I don't reload and finding the components to reload in the current environment is difficult. I will do something just got to work it out.
Are you shooting animals or targets? Why do you feel like you need a 6.5? Which means you'll be shooting 140's? Probably Berger VLD's which will about cut a deer in 1/2 but only out to about 600yds.
But that's kinda like chosing one crayon out of a box of 64.
