http://www.ruger.com/Firearms/...t%20Action&famlst=31 Looking for something between a .223 and .30 calibers, I keep coming back to the 6.5's. I want something that will shoot well at intermediate ranges (~300-600 yards) that is accurate with enough payload for large varmints. Shooting 140 grains at ~2800FPS, it looks like a good choice if recoil is low enough to make it worth leaving the .308 at home. Does anyone shoot this caliber? How does it work at the target range? Competition? Varmint termination? Is it easy to reload? Thanks!

If memory serves me right the 6.5 creedmore is similar to the 264 and the 6.5x55. I have a 6.5x55 and accuracy is outstanding, recoil is notably less than my 06. I am currently in the process of reducing my inventory and the 06 will be going, the 6.5x55 and the 35 Whelen will be staying... | |||
