Caliber Notes: The 6.5 Creedmoor is a top choice of precision rifle competitors and hunters looking for the optimum AR-based extended range rifle cartridge. It makes ultra long range shooting an easy proposition and offers similar long range trajectories to a .300 Winchester Magnum with less felt recoil than a comparable .308 rifle. The high ballistic coefficient bullets loaded in the 6.5 caliber make this downrange performance possible because they have less wind drift and more retained energy than a comparable .30 caliber bullet at 1000 yards. When seeking the best extended-range shooting or hunting performance in an AR platform rifle the 6.5 Creedmoor is the logical choice. With a wide variety of quality factory ammunition available and .308 AR magazine and receiver compatibility, the 6.5 Creedmoor is in a performance class by itself.

    Dirt Naps!!

    Posted by A Greco on Mar 14th 2023

    Sighted this barrel in with an iRay Bolt thermal, using 135 grain federal berger hybrid hunter. 3 shot group @ 100 yards was 1/3 MOA. At 200 yards, the 3 shot group widened to 3/4ths of an inch. The black armor tuff coating looks great. Will sit down a 150-200 lb hog no problem!

    1/2 Moa Truck Gun!!

    Posted by John Wolter on Aug 6th 2021

    I chose the 18" Tactical Hunter in 6.5 Creedmoor for a Lightweight all-around "Truck Gun" build in my go to caliber. I do alot of coyote hunting and where I live I can use my ATV and I have 2 other Wilson Combat Barrels so I know what they're capable of but they still surprised me with the amazing accuracy from this Lightweight Barrel. Even at 500yds from a bench I'm maintaining 1/2 MOA 5 shot groups with my handloaded 143gr ELDX on top of 45gr of Superfomance and still get avg 2788fps at the muzzle. I was going to change powder with the shorter barrel before testing but now if it's not broke don't fix it. Wilson Combat knocked this one out of the park again!! Great Barrel 👍

    Naildriver

    Posted by Rich on Apr 20th 2020

    I own numerous wilson barrels for AR's and they all perform the same...naildrivers! I would not purchase anything but a Wilson barrel! Install it and shoot it, no breakin proceedures and they all shoot under inch groups without getting crazy reloading. In the 6.5 CM I shoot the Hornady 143 ELDX with H4350 and have 5 shot groups at 1/2" @ 100yds.
