    You could always neck up 22-250 brass and the fireform them.... I'm sure Lapua will start making brass soon though.

    This is true, but I'm chronically lazy and would rather someone else do that hard work, en masse :D

    I do not think Lapua will jump to start making 6.5 Creedmoor brass soon since they are already making 260 Rem and 6.5x47 Lapua.

    Remember, 6.5 Creedmoor is one of the most popular match rifle calibers in the USA

    Remember that popular match calibers in the US is not necessarily so popular among the general puplic to justify the expense of new tooling. Like we have, the US also has flavor of the month cartridges :)

    Like all chamberings even the 6.5 Creedmoor has pro's and con's

    In SA you must also keep in mind that we do not have the selection of different propellants the US guys have to fully utilize a cartridge case capacity. Using Somchem S365 in a 6.5 Creedmoor with heavy 140gr bullets will work nicely.

    Is Hornady 6.5C brass available in SA? Get's good reports here. Used to be crappy but the new brass from them supposedly is very good.

    Midway has it also.... a bit cheaper.

    Why not go 6.5x55 swede or am I missing something. Components and ammo should not be a problem.
