Had my goal been strictly LR target work, I might have chosen a larger caliber / cartridge?? For follow through purposes tho......likely would have required a brake. Admittedly, I'm old school and used to shooting with no brake or suppressor. Voraciously reading about all this........it seems I'm way behind a lot of LR shooters. But, IMO, on the right path. AND...the cartridge had to work in my Coyote hunting.

I did NOT choose the 6.5 C impulsively and, after a lot of study, FULLY understand it's limitations. I'm balancing a bunch of variables / rifle priorities. The Creed simply checked the most "to do list" boxes for me. Nothing more than that. I'm confident the cartridge will do all I ask of it and more. Up to me to extract its potential.

Here's the big hurdle...

Right now, I'm looking up a very steep hill........moving from MOA (60 years) to MIL...from a SFP to a FFP scope. Hoping I live long enough to learn all this.

I appreciate our discussion. Have a good day.
Don't believe the hype.
MIL is useless unless your shooting in comps where most everyone has MIL scopes and spotters and are giving you corrections in MIL's.
The steep hill is your own doing, as you'd be fine the rest of your days using MOA.
F class is dominated by shooters using MOA scopes and those guys shoot tiny groups.
If it ain't broke............
Keep us posted on your load workup with the 6.5.
