Just took my rpr in 6.5 to 1000 yards today. Jumped from 600 to 1k. I was on paper the second shot and pretty stoked keeping it in the black.
Put about 140 rounds through it all factory ammo, still waiting for my Redding VLD seating stem (backordered). So far very happy and no problems at all.

If you had your choice between the .308 and 6.5 Creedmore which would you choose and why?

.243 Winchester, Burris XTRII 4-20 in Warne mount, Atlas bipod.
Theres a like dedicated .308 vs 6.5 thread in this subforum and earlier in this thread.
Comes down to some of your current logistics and what you want to do.
.308 nice if you already have .308 and/or reload it. Always be able to find cheaper surplus and while the rifle a bit heavy for it could theoretically hunt w/ it. Does have the shorter barrel (and consequently handguard)
6.5 is hands down the better extreme range precision shooter. If you dont reload the match ammo is I think actually cheaper than .308. So far this is what most people have posted the most impressive results with.
Thanks. I'll look for that thread.
