204 Ruger vs 6.5 creedmoor 500 yards 

I don’t usually comment on videos , however this video was extremely well done. I love watching the vapor trail and then the camera by the gong and how you hear the shot just after the bullet hits the target. Great video !

Have both rifles and calibers! I would suggest both rifles systems are spot on! 204 out to 500 will dance with wind. 6.5 does not.. Super shooting!

Wow that's just amazing...that browning in 6.5 is a laser...awesome shooting

Unlike many here I love the comparison. I think it shows how awesome and underrated the .204 is. Great shooting! But that browning...daaaang! Would love to put it against a Sako 6.5 or even a Tikka 6.5. That said I thing most ppl are gonna have a hard time shooting better than that group with any caliber ammo or rifle...hand loads and custom rifles included. AMAZING!

The 6.5 was incredible shooting, especially in the conditions!!

I too own a browning x bolt and love it more everytime I shoot it. One of if not the best rifle for the money. Thanks for the video.

204 Is just down right impressive!

Fantastic group. May I be the first to say….let’s go Brandon & Stacy.

Brandon, you might look into spin drift for that 6.5 bullet at 500 yards. Should be a bit showing up at 500 yards.

Yes, the 6.5 hits with some authority.

Good lord my man! That is a phenomenal group out of the 6.5 with factory ammo! Is the rifle factory as well or have you played with it?

Impressive....and... inspirational...indeed...

God damn those are both amazing groups.

Well not really fair comparison. The .204 is really a 400 yard gun. The 6.5 is going to be better past that. But its also going to eat more power, much louder, kick harder so you don't get to see the hit in the scope (24x) etc. I'd much rather shoot the 204 at the range than the 6.5. Same with shooting small game. Just smoother shooting vs bigger iron.

Great group! with 6.5. I am a .204 shooter my self.

I love the .204 for running coyotes.

Great shooting

The weight of a 204 at 40 grains will carry in the wind much more than the 143-grain bullet. On a still day and say about 250 yards, I believe the Sako will outperform the Browning or at least right up with it. Good grouping at 500 yards.

Good shooting from you and your wife. I have to take my hat off to the Xbolt. Browning have done an amazing job with the range of rifles. As a hunter, the first shot is the one I rely on. Great video, thank you.

Great fuckin shooting man. Might be my 2 favorite calibers as well. That 204 really turns small critters inside out lol

Even though not a fair comparison caliber wise, I would still take the Browning any day. They make a fantastic rifle, always have.

That’s an unbelievable 500 yard group. How many inches high were you clicked up on the 6.5?

Wow good shooting with the 6.5 cm

Which one would've have a first round hit on a Ground hog? The 204 wouldve been the only hit. There is that.

BTW that 500 yard group with the 6.5 is fantastic with ANY rifle. Can't do much better than that. Shooting factory ammo is both guns?

Nice shootin bud! I built an Xbolt pro long range for wifey, shoots 2.5 inch groups at 1000 yards, so I know what youve got! Hand loads with the 140gr Burger VLD hunting, and I use the 140 Elite Hunter in my PRC. Great vid again. I will have to fly over for a visit one day. Look me up on F.b. Cheers!

Wow that 6.5 cm groups well.

You shoot better than me!

Fantastic shooting friend

That is VERY impressive shooting with the X-Bolt! I put part of the great group down to the inherent accuracy of the 6.5 CM cartridge, part to the quality of the X-Bolt and most to your shooting ability. I have both a Ruger Precision Rifle and a Ruger American Predator in 6.5 Creedmoor. BOTH will shoot 1/2" at 100 yards with Hornady 140 gr. ELD-M ammo. Like your X-Bolt, Ruger uses hammer forged barrels. I'd take your Browning X-Bolt over my Ruger American Predator for the X-Bolt's better features. But the X-Bolt is twice the price of my R.A.P. Both are highly accurate. Ain't it amazing what good CNC machining can do? I have the X-Bolt's "older brother", a .300 Win mag Browning A-Bolt that is also very accurate, even with a hot barrel.

WOW!!! that's IT! I AM BUYING THAT BROWNNG HC!!

I shoot both calibers depending on the weather conditions and ranges I love the 204 but its a whole lot tougher to shoot in the wind than the 6.5 Creedmor but the 6.5 does a lot more damage to the fur! Good shooting and the results are not surprising at 500 meters the 204 is getting short on velocity.

I have a Sako A7 and Browning X bolt. The Sako is really nice and accurate except the damn Mag became loose, the rounds just keep jumping out of the mag right after I pushed one in. I fixed it by pressing the mag upside down against the floor. The Browning is also nice, the mag design is much durable. I love both of them.

dam fine shooting , theres a guy in the UK richard utting , taking head shots on rabbits at 800 yards with a 204 its why i came looking for more 204 videos but that 6,5 is astounding , ps gunsmith for 32 years now lol

Your spin drift will be almost half a minute at 500 and so would equate to 2.5 inches right for the creed so may not be as far out as you think

the 143 ELDX is awesome in the 6.5

Would a north wind be from the left? How fast would you say it was going?

Nice groups. Love the 204. My savage 12v 204 will group like your 6.5.. Its nothing short of impressive much like yours.

Been looking at those myself. Great set of videos.(I agree with others,you are sandbagging on shooting ability lol) Thanks

This fellow did under 1" at 500 with a Tikka .204. Its probably just ammo related. If the charge is off a little bit the groups open with any caliber. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-uiH1RhOdGWU.html

What Ammo did you use in the 6.5 to shoot that group? Awesome stuff

UPDATE: I just bought a 6.5 Creedmoor Browning X-Bolt Pro (carbon fiber stock and fluted bolt and barrel - 6 lbs. 1 oz.) At Sportsman's Warehouse I compared theX-Bolt Pro to the SAKO 85 Carbonlight and felt the Pro was equal in quality but offered more features AND was about $1,000.less! Browning has about the best consistent factory rifle accuracy these days. Miroku knows how to produce quality rifles and Browning knows how to design quality rifles. I'm waiting on a MARCH 3 - 24 x 42 scope. (FFP, mil/mil, illuminated & numbered reticle, and side focus/parallax knob) This short, light scope, as is common these days, cost more than the rifle but compliments the "mountain rifle" style of the X-Bolt Pro as they are both top tier instruments.

I love my 6.5 creedmoor so much I sold my 270 and 300 wsm😂 plus it was a very expensive gun so I got my money back and a better caliber

If your doing to do an accuracy comparison between 2 rifles you should at leased use the same cartridge an ammunition in each firearm, the 204 would always struggle at 500 yds.

Good shooting! How you liking that stock? I'm looking at picking one up for my 300wsm xbolt along with the new timney trigger

On the way back from bangor I stopped by the trading post and looked at a 6.5creedmoor.

good shooting

Thus makes me want an xbolt...and I love my tikka tac a1

Nice shooting

Nice looking rifles. Kind of getting sick of 6.5 Creedmoors but that's neither here nor there.

I'm shocked the .204 had grouping like that at 500.. They start falling off pretty fast. I'd love to see a 783 223 vs a ruger 204 battle at 500 yards!

Based on the comments, Browning should be paying you for this video lol

Wow great groups 👍

Good shooting, young man. Now get some fur. Ha

how does your group size look at 100m

I think its probably a battle of the calibers. Creemore has more range. Maybe the 204 can hang up to 400 yards.

"ping - boom"... ASMR for gun guys 😆

Why compare these two? They’re not used for the same thing. Completely different class of firearms.

A deer @ that range one and Done for sure 🙂

Fucking awesome

What factory ammo and scope is on the 6.5?

Good shooting.What country are you from?

Is this your farm u shooting on??

Cant beat a 204 ruger

What scope rings on the Sako? I'm looking for the same setup. Thanks.

cool video, thanks for posting, a fun comparison of calibers' performance at distance but a very silly comparison to say you're comparing the rifles and using WILDLY different calibers....not hating but the browning is not the winner, the 6.5 is... The 6.5 was built to do that and you are talking about a bullet that is 5 or 6 TIMES heavier than a .204! And everyone knows a .204 with it's teeny bullet can't perform in any kind of wind past 400 yards...it actually did less terrible than i would have thought--you must have a steady hand! Get that Sako in 6.5 and re-do, i'd love to see. Actually think they only make it in .260 though?

Two good rifles, BC wins, great group by the way.

Wow TAck driver

Do more video like your rifle

sako is a way better rifle than browning.

False comparison.

Nice shooting
