lancetkenyon Report post Posted March 24, 2016 They might be good for targets, but that's all. After a couple hunnerd yards they'll have a hard time punching paper. Lark I have taken my 6.5 SLR (uses a .243 or .260 case necked up and changes shoulder/neck design) out to 1771 on an 18x12" steel. I could hear the ring clearly. 1370 is easy with the round. I hope to get a chance at antelope or deer this year, and 800 yards would be my personal limit with it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Zeke-BE Report post Posted April 2, 2016 I have neither rifles. But I want to build a light weight couse mid range gun. I decided the creedmoor. After much investigation I chose creedmoor. In the end you won't go wrong with either they are so close. And to add fuel to the fire but I also called phoenix custom rifle about a muzzle brake and he just seemed annoyed with me. I was just thinking maybe he was having a bad day but maybe that is his personality Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
