The 6.5 Creedmoor Is Easy To Hate? 

Me and you both know youll sell op swop the new 6.5 creedmoor long before Olivia is big enough to shoot that sucker!! What length of time have you had a specific gun the longest time before selling it, you go through guns like no ones bussiness!!

How is your bench and wall so clean all the time?

I’ve got a Howa 1500 6.5 in an MDT chassis and a vortex FFP scope. I love that thing. Could just about shoot the stinger off of a bee with it. Old man’s got a 308 and whenever we get them out for a shoot he wishes he had a creed.

What is your take on the Remington 6.5 Creedmoor? I've heard some good things and some concerns on the bolt action and trigger? Do you know if they've sorted out their issues?

Love my 270 win shooting 110 Vmax at 3,300 fps, but nothing beats 6.5 Creedmoor I once saw a guy shot around the world that's how good it is. LOL

I have a Wilson Combat recon tactical 18" barrel in 6.5 creedmoor. You're going to love a gas gun in 6.5 creed! Mine has a Leupold mk5 on it and it is insanely easy for me to get hits out to 1000. (Even with that short barrel) my friend's line is "that's a $4000 6.5 bleedmore" whenever we hunt and I bring that rifle. Haha

😎

I shoot long range, in 308 ONLY, I refuse to join the 6.5 gaymoore crowd.

Why didn't 6.5 Swede catch on the way Creedmoor has? The benefit of a short action isn't *that* much of a huge benefit. Marketing?

The 6.5 itself is hard to hate, but the guys who over-hype it as a 1000yd elk slayer at VERY easy to hate (:

Super opgewonde... ek wag vir my lisensie - 6.5 creedmoor! Hierdie video bevestig net weer dat ek die regte besluit geneem het. 👌 👏

I feel so attacked, when i watch youre videos i feel like i k ow youre rifles better than mine and here i am shooting a 270win and my idle dosent like it (now i gotta sell it and buy a 6.5 cm or PRC), jk i love my Ruger. Great video keep up the grind 💪

Always leaned toward Rem 700 bolt rifles. Decided to go down the 6.5 CM path to give it a try but didn't get a bolt rifle, I got a Smith & Wesson performance center AR10 6.5. Changed the stock to Magpul PRS GEN3, installed a muzzle brake and optic. Coming from years of bolt action rifles and years in the military with a Rem 700 308, I was surprised and impressed with the S&W AR10. I catch myself thinking about getting a bolt 6.5 CM, then question why after shooting the AR10.

All good, shot everything with a .270 win, BUT, 6,5x47 Lapua is all I shoot now and is the way to go, and compliments to Element optics, the best scope I have ever had since I got rid of Vortex

Since you didn't specify which 270... My .270WSM is an insanely accurate hunting rifle, so I'm insanely offended!!! HAHA

It doesn't matter what you shoot just love the sport it much better then go shopping with mom in law 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Lekker, now we know why you like 6.5 but you cannot leave us dangling with that .270 remark. Would like to know your motivation for that too, Piet. Cheers

The 6.5 Creedmoor AR-10 is a wonderful set up. I have a few videos up on the one I built and I am currently working loads up for it. I love your channel by the way. Also there is a company Uintah Precision here in the US that makes a true bolt action upper for the AR-10 lower platform. This is my next addition to mine as it would essentially be 2 rifles in 1. I will have a 16" 6.5 Creedmoor AR-10 and with a simple swap of the uppers I will have a 26" precision bolt action. Something to think about.

I have a 260 rem (1:1 for 6.5) and 308 win. Both beautiful. Nowadays I’m using a 223 and 308 for 1000 yard targets (Coke can). The 6.5 is great when I go longer. At 2000 I like the 7mm rem mag. It really depends on what you want. If you have the choice - get them all.

6.5? Never heard of it! In all seriousness the .264" is super versatile. And addictive. If you were to peer in to my safe you'd see a 260 Rem., a couple Creedmors, a couple Grendels a couple 6.5x284's and a build sheet for an upcoming PRC. Having said all that I went 12 for 12 this year between SA and here in the US with my 28 Nosler. It just hits super hard.

Bravo! I own three 6.5 CM’s. A Bergara Ridgeback, a Ruger Precision and an Aero Precision AR I built with a twenty inch Ballistic Advantage heavy barrel. All shoot well under 1 MOA and the AR is spot on at 1000 meters consistently. I hunt with the Bergara for deer and it is a 100% stopper to 350 yards with factory Hornady 129 SST Superperformance ammo. Can’t go wrong with it.

How dare you tell me my .308 ain't good nuff no more. Jk, 6.5cm is money....can't go wrong with it at all.

5.56, 7.62, 300wm, 6.5cm, 6.5prc drinking heavily having civil conversations until 270 & 7.62-39 showed up. All hell breaks loose

Hi Pieter, I bought a 6.5cr in october last year (howa barreld action), based on your rifle build. Aiming for the apw break and a strike eagle scope, chassis is still undecided. I got the license approved a week ago (long wait). now im just waiting on my card and then its off to the store to bring my baby home. thanks for an awsome channel and all the advise you give. see you on the range boet! :)

Hi I have n tikka 6.5 creedmoor and I am using vhitavouri n560, lapua small rifle primer brass and 140 eldm bullets. My grouping at 100 is 0.7cm but at 500meters it is hitting low than right and all over the place and I dont know what to do anymore. Wat is your advice

Hi Piet, what do you think about the 300wsm cartridge?

1:38 sec. about. You have a Deadpool Ryan Renald on your shells. I forgot all about what you said with the deadpool. I also imagined an animated Deadpool, and then it hit me! Hey, that is technically a Deadpool?

I like diversity. I am for fun trying to find the transsonic range of a .22WMR and how to push that round further. Thanks.

Picked up a 6.5 AR from Daniel Defense, waiting for my Vortex to get to me so I can take it out. Your channel motivated me to do my first 6.5 build on a MDT chassis about a year and a half ago with a proof barrel and Defiance action. Learning how to shoot that at distance made me want the same in a SA platform. Your easy to watch and follow content does open others to the shooting sports, keep it up, my wife and I are enjoying the process of learning.

Only have 2 rifles... Both 6.5 Creedmoor 🦾🦾 Boom shaka-laka

Granted it is overhyped, and it’s not the best PRS or hunting cartridge in existence. That said it is certainly an excellent choice for both applications.

Horrible cartridge … I mean who wants an inherently accurate cartridge with mild recoil that’s cheap to load for and shoot . Terrible

I have both 308 and 6.5CM. 28 grains is not going to leave the target any less dead. My 6.5 is in an Oryx and is MOA all day even with cheaper ammo like S&B 140gr fmjbt. Still working with the 308 in it's factory stock and holding moa is challenging even with Hornady Match ammo. Want to keep it light so I may go with a Boyds wood stock.

I get made fun for shooting a 260 Remington at matches. It’s the Elmer Fudd round of the 6.5mm lol

Will be picking up my first rifle which will be in 6.5 creedmoor. Super keen and can't wait Hello from Australia

My first longer range rifle was a 6.5 Creedmoor just a few years ago. I upgraded it to another 6.5CM and still have that. I've had thoughts about a 6.5CM semi-auto, so hopefully I catch some of your videos to see how that goes for you.

If you ever have an itch for another AR15 you should check out the 6.5 Grendel. Lot's of hate for the Creedmore for sure, but of all of my larger centerfires it is the one cartridge I like to shoot the most. Very easy to spend a whole day on the range with and not feel worn out by it.

I am getting into the PRS and hunting life and I have been shopping for ages now. I have some budget restraints but I wanted versatility for both. I just recently purchased a SIG CROSS in 6.5 Creedmoor. There are many things I love about it already but I am not too happy about the barrel length they chose at 18 inches. I am looking to change this out to a 20-inch barrel at some point. Do you have any feedback on this rifle? I am still a bit new but have done tons of research. I sincerely appreciate the videos and will also be looking at your course. any feedback or guidance you can offer relating to this rifle or getting started would be most helpful!

Just bought my first rifle and this channel was a big motivator for me to have it chambered in 6.5 creedmoor.

I haven't yet started my bolt action training, I'm starting off with a short 308 bull barrel, with my reasoning that I may transition to a fancy Bergara 6.5 HMR in the future. Greetings from America! 🦓💚

its easy to hate the 6.5 creed, but once you fall in love with it, its hard loving something els as much as the 6.5 , i absolutley love my howa 6.5 creedmoor

Only boomers who grew up with the 308 hate the 6.5cm

Hey man i grew up in Tennessee hunting with a .270!!!!!!!! and then I bought a 6.5….

Mense in die suide van Namibia sal jou hard bliksem as jy die 270 dis! Asb moet dit nie doen nie 😂😂😂

I'd love to see more AR 15 content in 223 and the creedmoor when it comes.

Ek het nou nee gekoop bmoet ook nou load data kry is van plan om hierdie jaar national te gaan skiet met hom

Ek het n 6.5 gekry nou is ek n sniper

I love my Kimber 270 WSM! Shame on you!

I don't hate it, I really like it. low recoil, I even put a break on it... even better! The 308 shooters are probably going to mock me about having a man-bun or something, but my NIke sports bra sponsorship will trump that (sarcasm), I like being able to keep on target easier and spot shots.

Can you make a video how to import rifles from America to South Africa. We're 2 South Africans working here and really want to import a rifle back home. Looking forward to hear from you

I bought a Blaser R8 Success in 6.5 Creedmoor last january and that a nice little caliber, very well balanced and very easy to reload. I used to hunt and shoot with bigger calibers but for many purposes, It will be more than enough.

6.5 creedmoore users tend to grow a man bun behind there head

Dit is weens die channel dat ek 2 jaar terug 'n 6.5 Creedmoor gekry het. Great kaliber om mee te jag en teiken skiet - geniet my Sauer 100 in 6.5 CM ongelooflik baie.

I love the talking yourself into/making excuses for a new rifle build. I do it all the time lol

Hey what's wrong with .270

Want to buy a 6.5 howa for my wife. Awesome calibre and rifle.

The 6.5 Creedmoor is the new 308

Will be very interesting to see the AR in 6.5. I have a AR308 from dpms that I use for IPSC but looking to get a second upper for PRS😊 It is also a lengthy process here in Norway

You are probably the only Creedmoor guy I know of that doesn't sport a ponytail.

I shoot a 270 and love it.

Would love to see AR stuff on this channel in your own way

Wasn't too long ago that 6.5 CM was the best thing since sliced bread!!!! Now everybody seems to be going to all these other calibers. I've seen this before??? Oh yea - .308 !!!!!

All this for hunting

I picked up a nice Savage 10 308 hardly shot any, guy was going to replace with 6.5 Creed more , told him let me know if doesn’t work out

Got a Bergara 14 HMR wilderness in 6.5 creedmoor, really happy with it, only thing i changed was the trigger, got a timney now. Shooting 139 lapua scenars and grouping them ¼ moa all day every day.

dont start talking about 6.5 creed hate now!!!! after being vehemently opposed to it for the last 10 years i just bought a howa legacy 1500 in the mdt oryx chassis on your recommendation!!!!! now if those apw brakes in black would just come back in stock in the usa store i could get somewhere. to end, i dont have a joke, and i cant figure out how to post a meme on youtube, but i have a meme of an indian tracker looking at prints in the snow. he says "deer was shot, he will live" the man with him says "how do you know that by looking at the ground?" the indian says "6.5 creedmore case"

May not be taking my 6.5 creedmoor to South Africa this summer as I'm shooting wildebeest and prefer my 300 win mag for that, it's still my favorite to shoot and hunt whitetail with

Just started shooting my 6.5 creed. . Easy shooting rifle . I was amazed by Les than 20 rounds from fitting the scope to 1000m.. I chose the Smith & Wesson M&P 10 Performance Centre semi auto . Was impressed with quarter MOA print at 100m. Hornedy Factory ammo. I own several other calibers. So we will have to see if this becomes my favorite rifle. Because my old 308 win is like an extension of my arm. .

Have one in AR10, but parked it at the moment. what bullet do you use in s.africa for 6.5 Had one break apart just behind shoulder, 276 yards. Boar, 150 lbs, Saw him flinch when hit but it ran. My mate quickly got behind his 7mm. Took him about 2 to 3 sec to establish lead and got him in the transcending aorta. Post mortem, could not find my round. Entrance but no exit.

I Don't own a 6.5 creed but its definitely on the list. I was hoping to scroll down the comments for loads of jokes. Plenty of good Meme's around.

I fully expected a full on hate video on the 6.5 Creedmoor. I also own a 6.5 Creed PRC and Im loving it. Now I am as green as it gets when it comes to precision or longer range shooting. I am self taught too so there is LOADS of room for improvement. I am not reloading yet I am firing factory / hunting rounds but Im managing to hit the 850m gong more often than not but thats the best I have managed. You content is very helpfull and pretty much in laymans terms so a complete rookie like myself can make sense of it. 👍👍👍

No one needs a 270

is it possible to build one from parts like an AR vs getting a Tikka for example and swapping out parts without being left with a lot of factory oem parts? -asking for a friend...

That trips me out that your first bolt gun was in 2017! Talk about a fast track! And you've probably got as many guns in 5 years as I have collected in 35 years. I'm at 72 in that time, how many are you at in 5 years? Now in all fairness I have had to pay for all of mine and all the parts and optics etc as well, so you have the edge with sponsors, you know this stuff can get expensive! Anyhow, I'm glad your doing well for yourself, you seem like a pretty good fella!

Tell me about it….over a year here in Australia too. Vudoo and ATX. Export/import bullshit.

6.5CM was the first bikt action rifle I ever bought and shot, prior to that my rifle skills were just in the SADF with my then hated R1. Being a 308 guy my mind was stuck on 308 until a did some research on the ballistics and decided that as a all round rifle for me for shooting kaak at the range and hunt that I was going with the 6.5, found the perfect rifle for me , a Christensen Arms MPR, love the thing. But the 308 bug was still bugging me so I decided on building a AR10, after some research and the rifle gods kick my head I came across a FN FAL, a DS arms fal, dam rifle that I hated so much in the weather force had me hooked, it was a para model but it's all I could get, sold that and built another 1 with full length 21" barrel . Back to 6.5 I asked DS arms how come they haven't come out with a 6.5 variant, nada, zippo, so I found a fellow that's worked on FALs and persuaded him to make me and 6.5 barrel for my FAL . Let's see if I can manage to pull that off and have the first fn fal chambered in 6.5 CM here in the USA. Sure wish there was someone that's already done it. As much as I love my 308 I definitely love the 6.5 CM just as much. Great channel Piet, just subscribed.

The DesertTech MDRx can be had chambered in 6.5CM. Sure, it’s not a precision rifle, but I would like to see how it performs.

Hi, I'm a big fan of your channel from Zimbabwe! Awesome, this is going to be epic when you get your new weapons!

Shot many different calibers. Love to hate 6.5 creed... until I've tried it. Gone with Tikka and nothing as amazing as a accurate caliber and smooth action. Hitting targets at 1400mt is very rewarding!

I have a 6.5 Creedmoor on a Howa 1500 action/barrel sitting in a MDT ACC chassis with a Vortex Razor because of your earlier videos

Sooooooooo..... As jy nie by bat machine was nie, sou jy die 6.5 creedmoor in howa of tikka gekoop het met jou eie geld en vol prys betaal?

Hahah I just got an falkor omega chambered in 6.5x47 lapua

6.5 kruit mors. Used mine on a springbok alk and stalk... Lucky Shot

Al wat ek wil sê is "all roads leads back to Rome" like jou channel like my 6.5 meer 😉 keep up the good work.

You should try shooting the Pristine Actions. They're beautiful to shoot and super smooth. I bought mine in 6.5 Creedmoor. Built it up with an ibi barrel. I also got a spare bolt head. One swap of the bolt head and barrel and I got a 223 Remington.

I have a model 700 American Hunter model in 6.5 cm! Shoots just as good as a precision rifle if you hold it still

Had owned my 6.5CM for 4 years before taking it hunting. And even though I was shooting it nearly weekly I just did not trust those small 6.5mm needles…… was I wrong!! Have now hunted a good number of blue wildebees, impala and waterbuck with it. Been using the Huntac bullets from Balistix with great effect. Have only recovered one bullet from a very heavy bwb bull shot at distance. I nearly trust is as much as a .270Win, nearly, but it needs to do at least another 2 decades to get to the same level. 😉

Would love to see what loads you did for your uncles hunting rifle. I have almost the exact same set up. Can you tell us what you did and how the projectiles shoot. Cheers

Thanks for the video Piet please do a vid on how you get the bat machine actions in South Africa and how to go about it.

Dude, move to the states! We would love to have you and you can waste all your income on guns monthly like I do lol

Ek stem! Ek het 2 van daai bad boys. Ry more om te gaan jag in die karoo. Dink jy die 6.5 CM sal n eland plat trek op lang afstand, blad skoot?

You are definitely going to love the 6.5 Creedmoor in the AR platform! Mine hammers at 1000 all day long I absolutely love my rifle!

Hey Pete this is awesome. I have toured Falkor Defense and they are top notch. I worked for an ammo manufacturer here in NW Montana. I have one of their Dracos barrels on my AR10.

smaak dan die ou het verkoue?

I think the 6.5 cm will been known for reviving sport shooting in South Africa.

You need to join the Grendel gang... We have the best kool-aid.

I have a 6.5cm and I also love it. I also have mega bench cleanliness envy.. 🤯😍

Been using the 6.5 Creed for just about everything now. Thought about moving to a 6 Dasher for matches but I like when hitting a heavy plate at 7-1000 yards you can tell what side of the plate was hit where them Lil 6mm Creed, Br and Dashers don't move them around a whole helava lot. Splash is probably a little easier to see with a heavier pill too but I'm sure people will debate it.

You should play with a .260 Remington..🤣

Boy, one can see who is a BIG FAN of Vortex Optics; is when you have a Vortex clock mounted one wall. I laugh! Additional, I have three rifles chambered in 6.5 Creedmoor, but when it comes rifle cartridges the 30-06 leads the pack (8) rifles.
