    Yeah. Too bad the .264 mag doesn't have the ballistic efficiency as the 6.5 creedmore. But it is a very sweet barrel burner for sure.

    Sorry Dale, I had to.

      I agree with the above. The cm is the hottest thing going today but will it be in 5 or 10 years...? Who knows....? Safe to say brass will be around for reloading as is true with any 308 based round such as the 7-08.

      You could further improve the performance by going to a 708AI. Velocity would improve and trimming would be a thing of the past. Yet another excellent reason to build a custom that few seem to talk about.

        I did my part! Just paid my deposit for 2 rifles. One a tbh special for Jr in 7mm-08 and one a backup pea shooter for doc to take in to the mountains in 6.5-284. I have to say I thoroughly enjoyed the guys at APR a d they made it easy! Pretty sure I’ll be using them in the future and I don’t have the guns yet. Gonna be a long wait but I think Jr will have a good birthday in July!!!!

            So what is the difference between the 6.5 and 6.5-284.....Is the 6.5-284 a hand load or is there factory ammo for it....

              Midway has a pretty good selection of x284 ammo right now, which I find odd but it’s a great round.

              You do get more out of it hand loading though as is true with most calibers.

                    Midway has like 10 different rounds for the 6.5-284. There are a lot more factory ammo options for the creedmore, and it will fit a short action mag, where the x284 would suffer badly in order to fit a SA mag. If that even matters to you.

                      Thanks guys...I'll probably stick with the creedmore....

                        I have a 25/06 sendero and it’s a tack driver and a 270, 30/06, 243, 223, 30/30, 300short mag, 22 hornet, and probably a couple more in the safe. Out of those rounds the 25/06 and 270’are my favorite. I’m having a hard time deciding what other caliber to go with. I don’t reload but one day I might, how much better is the 6.5x284 than my 25/06? Farthest I’m comfortable killing a animal is 400yrds because that’s the farthest I have practiced. So what would be a good caliber that I could kill with up to 400-500 yrds but maybe do some long rant shooting past 500yrds?

                          Looks like you are missing a good short action capable at that distance so 6.5CM or 7-08 come to mind.

                            I was in bass pro today and impressed with the 7mm-08 ammo selection.

                              What kind of critter are you after at those ranges? Deer? Elk?

                              Deer...257 Weatherby, 6.5x284, 26 Nosler, 6.5x300 Weatherby, 280 AI, 7mm Mag, 28 Nosler, etc...but I'm a guy that doesn't dial scopes and learns the hold over for my target. (I know, I know, I'm old before my time)
