Some are claiming the 6.5 Creedmoor is or will be one of the most popular cartridges worldwide. If that is based only on new gun sales it might be close to the truth.

It also keeps the gun writers busy cranking out articles of why the 25-06 or 270 or what ever cartridge you choose is better. I haven't taken the plunge yet but may do a 22 Creedmoor as the next build once I finish all the other projects. Next we will probably see articles on how the 220 Swift beats the 22 Creedmoor. This is all pretty amusing for a cartridge whose parentage is over a hundred years old. I would not be surprised if Newton or others didn't already make a 256 short while developing the 256 Newton and 250 Savage cartridges.


"When you disarm the people, you commence to offend them and show that you distrust them either through cowardice or lack of confidence, and both of these opinions generate hatred." Niccolo Machiavelli
