6.5 Creed VS .300 RUM

[RaiderRich]

Well with the current state of powder availability I would say that being able to shoot 2 rounds of the creedmoor to equal one shot of the 300RUM must have some sort of pull?!?

Hoarders looking to sell for insane profits don't want to hear that kind of logic!

If you just run magnum primers they are neck and neck out past a grand

When the powder all drys up a .30 caliber 200 gr bullet will still be far superior launched from a slingshot

As mentioned in another post (Both) and problem solved. just make sure you can handle the massive Kahunas and all the ladies the 6.5 creed brings with it

I have both (3 of the RUMs). If you run enough Retumbo in a RUM, it can come close to doing what a Creedmoor does. “Laser.”

Ok you can’t just post that without a link of where to purchase at!

The 8 antelope/deer I’ve taken with 1 shot from my 6.5 Creed would vote RUM

Don't you think a 6.5 creed is a bit over kill for deer and antelope?

The 6.5 definitely does the job when looking to take out gophers at 1000 yards.

I got a mailer from Hornady last week telling me the new greatest cartridge ever made is the 6mm ARC.
Why are we still talking about this?

Does ownership of a 6mm ARC require both a manbun and a nose ring?

What's your position on the 7saum? I'm pretty sure I know this answer...... but I'll ask anyway.

I'm not a big 7mm guy. Don't even own one. I have loaded the 7mm RUM. I do like the SAUM cartridges though. But, the big one came out first so that's what I got. mtmuley

I’m new here and my opinion may not mean much but with all the hype of the 6.5 we need to go back and look at the ballistics of it compared to the 243, 270, 7mm-08 and calibers of that nature. I realize the big short action fad going on but in my opinion the 6.5 has been talked up way to much and often compared to different calibers and weights that shouldn’t even be considered in the same class.

@mtmuley if I’m taking this road why would I not follow it to its terminus

Look at them both as far as ballistics using a 26 inch barrel. Probably the longest practical for a carry rifle. The RUM gives up nothing until barrel length increases beyond that. And, not that it matters when messing with big magnums, but the RUM is a bit more economical. If I were to move to a bigger .30 cal, I wouldn't even consider the Weatherby. Straight to the .30-.338 Lapua. Imp. mtmuley

In my 36” barreled, with rl 17 and 156’s, my gunsmith used his Monica Lewinski throat reamer, and loaded to 3” coal.... aaaah! never mind...
