Talk:6.5mm Creedmoor

Hijacked article
Clearly somebody has hijacked an article about the 6.5 Creedmoor and turned it into an advertisement for the Lapua 6.5x47. The claim that the 6.5x47 Lapua is a more accurate round is inserted at least twice. The second time the reference #14 is just echoing one persons opinion. I was already familiar with the first reference #9. This reference sites an article that actually tries to compare the accuracy of multiple 6.5 mm rounds. Unfortunately, and according the the authors own words, "At this point the consistent experimental method suffers a blow. Up until now, all testing was done on the same rifle platform: the AI-AW. For the 6.5 Creedmoor, I was only able to get a barrel for its native competition rifle, the Tubb 2000, from McMillan. I borrowed a Tubb rifle...". In other words the comparison was not apples to apples and even the author thought that the platform used for the 6.5 Creedmoor could have been handicapped.

The side panel picture dose not include the 6.5x47 Lapua, so why is that even brought up in the first place.

Why is there even a section for hand loading. The 6.5 Creedmoor is not designed for hand loading. Match grade ammo costs about the same or less than hunting rounds for common cartridges such as the 30.06 Springfield and 270 Winchester. 6.5 Creedmoor ammo complete with bullet, primer and powder costs about the same as empty Lapua brass. In addition to all it's other wonderful features the price per round is another bonus for this beautiful cartridge.

Now you can cry foul because I'm comparing and contrasting two items and talking up one over the other, but that is exactly what the main article does. Clean it up and send Lapua's 6.5X47 off to it's own page.

Neutral point of view?
This article seems to fail the sniff test for a neutral point of view. Furthermore, it has various grammatical missteps and does not scan or read as an objective, factual piece. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.201.147.76 (talk) 02:06, 7 October 2016 (UTC)

non-NPOV
This article needs improvement. This article is important because the 6.5 Creedmoor is one of the fastest growing rifle calibers. Rather than providing comprehensive information relevant to the 6.5 Creedmoor, this article reads more like an infomercial for the 6.5x47 Lapua. Eli6 (talk) 18:53, 30 March 2017 (UTC)

What on earth is a "donut problem"?
In the text that accompanies the photo in the handloading section, what is the "donut problem" referred to? What I am talking about is excerpted below: "The longest 140gr bullets reach the neck-shoulder junction. Due to the relatively long neck, it can be reloaded with long target bullets without placing the base of the bullet below the neck. This eliminates the "donut" problem seen by many cases after being reloaded over 20 times." I've been handloading rifle and pistol ammunition since 1979 and never had problems resembling "donuts".

For what it's worth, the most reloads I've obtained from one rifle cartridge was 51 when the primer pocket gave out. Linstrum (talk) 01:03, 1 June 2020 (UTC)

The cartridge is a modification of the 6.5 Carcano and the .30 TC,[8] both based on the .308 Winchester.[9]
This reads like the 6.5 Carcano was based on the .308 Winchester. The 30TC is based on the .308 Winchester case, the 6.5 Carcano was developed in 1891 about 60 years before the .308. I can find no information that even implies that the 6.5 Carcano was a direct developmental model for the 6.5 Creedmoor. MikeyFlippy (talk) 00:42, 26 March 2021 (UTC)
