    I don’t like the kick of either anymore even a Creedmoor in an AR10. So I shoot my Grendel and go whack piggies when I can! The new thing these days is the PRC 6.5.

    I've never had a 6 or a 6.5 but I would probably choose the 6.5. The max shot here is about 75 yards and nothing massive. I've taken quite a few deer with my .243; now that is a barrel burner!

    My 6.5 Creedmore. Ruger American Predator in a Magpul Hunter stock. Harris bipod and an AIM scope. I handload all my ammo. Bought the cheap stuff for the brass.

    I came close to buying a 6.5creedmore recently but opted for the .308 Bc I thought the ammo would be cheaper. But so far the ammo I find is the same price.

    Took a whitetail doe last week with the 6.5 at approx. 312yds dropped where she stood. Glad I choose this caliber any of my other hunting rifles would have been a questionable shot at that range.

    No complaints so far with the 6.5. Ditto the others on ammo selection.

    This is my Bergara b14 HMR in 6.5 with a 5 shot group at 100 yards using store bought Hornady match ammo. It's boringly accurate. I love that rifle and that caliber.

    If you reload then sky is the limit. If you don’t I’d go creedmore just for ammo availability

    Waits obviously very a lot, but I got some suppressors in two weeks ago and bought them end of December. Not to put a damper on your expectations :D

    ugh......... I'm hoping e-file makes it a little sooner. I paid for it on April 2, but they cashed it like April 28th, so I was going from that date. Ugh just checked here. Its about 30 days longer than what I saw earlier https://www.silencershop.com/atf-wait-times
