6.5 Creed VS .300 RUM

[MarvB]

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

Damn muley ya have a orthopedic surgeon in the family or something?

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

Looking at it that way, neither does the .300 wby RE: the RUM

Nah, @wllm1313 started this rabbit hole. I merely tripped and fell head first. What mushroom do I eat to wake up?

Naw, 30-378 Weatherby. It's nearly as powerful as the 6.5, just takes twice the powder.

 

[DamascusSteel]

In all honesty why even mention the 300 RUM when the 50 BMG exists?

 

[LuketheDog]

I’m also 120% through a six pack stirring this dumpster fire so we have to take that consideration in too

...or 60% through a 12-pack, you have work to do

Probably more like a good dentist...

 

[winmag]

Straight to the .30-.338 Lapua. Imp.

Oh come on. Why stop halfway? 300-375 Cheytac and keep the barrel makers in business!

I was late to the 6.5 CM party, the day I brought home the 6.5 Creedmoor neighbors dropped by to praise my purchase ,woman found me more attractive ( except huntingwife)and hit on me, the scale said I was 10 lbs lighter, young children wrote school papers about me being a role model, farmers sent me Christmas gifts because crop damage was near non existent. The county sherif called me and said he felt safer knowing that 6.5 CM was in his county . I mounted a a scope on my rifle which was over kill ( CM’s are so accurate scopes are required ) seeing a couple deer in the field behind my house I aimed and dry fired, all three deer dropped dead of fright ! I had not even bought ammo or components yet and had three deer down. I found by using lighter bullets with the fast twist I can bend my shots around trees and don’t have to wait for the game to take another step. I find with a 100 yard zero (if I bothered to zero the rifle CM’s are out of the box accurate) I can hold dead on out to a thousand yards for DRT results on game. Yup the 6.5 Creedmoor is a fine rifle !

This sounds like modern day Ralphie from Christmas story fantasizing about how owning a Creedmoor changes your life.

Yeah, but he gets it. The RUM and the Creed are the only cartridges on the planet that kill like that. I don't need a Creed cause I have a RUM. But, the same things happen. More of everything. I might quit hunting. It's not fair. mtmuley

 

[silasd]

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

That, sir, was funny.

 

[mtmuley]

That, sir, was funny.

And the antelope I've killed with my RUM would vote the same way. If they could. mtmuley

 

[BWALKER77]

If Jesus himself was going to go on a Elk hunt he would no doubt be toting a 300 RUM.

So, what you are saying is that it is a good thing for Keanu Reeves that the 6.5 CM was not around when Agents were after him.
