Great article. I’ve been a fan of .223, .308 Win, and .50 BMG for a long time, but I’m thinking about getting a Ruger Precision Rifle in 6.5 Creedmore, and this article– while a few years old– was really handy. Thanks.

Larger case does not mean more accurate. I’ve shot both x47 and x55, but for intermediate ranges I will take the x47. Fits standard SA / 308 mags as well, interesting for tactical shooters.

The 6.5×55 exceeds all of the above in accuracy and in access to components.

Bobby, an important fact that everyone failed to mention is that brass is easily made from .300 and .250 Savage brass, not to mention the ubiquitous 22-250 Rem case that any tapered expander will convert with barely any effort.

There has not been a time as of yet, since the introduction of the 6.5 Creed that there was ever the quantity/supply equal to availability of the Lapua case. It has nothing to do with popularity. I isn’t available in any sort of comparable numbers. The Lapua is indeed more expensive,… but consider the quality diff., and do the math.

Simply said,… Apples and Oranges.

Bobby, the second sentence of the article explains that most vendors are out of stock at this time. Then we explain that MidwayUSA is expecting brass to arrive early in May.

An important fact that everyone failed to mention is that brass and loaded ammo cannot be found. To recommend a fledgling cartridge without adding that information is slighting the readers.
