6.5 Creedmore vs. 6.5 x 284 Norma--Ballistic comparison?
« on: December 14, 2010, 08:11:47 AM »
I'm not overly familiar with these but was wondering if there's somewhere where you can compare the 2 and see what the pro's and con's would be on them.  They both seem to be great rounds.  A friend is looking for a long range rifle for deer and other type hunting and was looking into these 2 cartridges.

thanks.

I never have figured out what the creedmore was all about, it looks about the same as the 260.  the norma I've never heard of.

the 6.5 Creedmore is sorta of reincarnation of the 260..but instead of being built on the .308 case it is built on the .30 T/C case..the 6.5-284 is built on the old 284 Winchester case. They are both darling of the long range target shooting crowd.  Hornady's website has good info on both.
