I'll take the 6.5 creedmoor based on those numbers. I've tried to like the 270, but ended up selling the 3 I had. The creed just makes more sense..
This thread is about the 270 and before you know it the 6.5 Creed becomes the topic of discussion. If you mention anything critical of the 6.5 Creedmoor in any 6.5 discussion, you are some sort of malcontent.
The 6.5 Creedmoor has its followers and I am happy for them, but I guarantee anyone hunting the rest of their life with the 6.5 won’t kill as much game with that cartridge as I have without it...
Ha. For sure.

You sure do.
JB should have given the B-29 more media exposure; it's the ultimate big game round. My 1,200 + yard one-shot kill in a gusting 90 m.p.h crosswind on a 7X7 bull elk would never have happened with any other round, not even a 50cal.
Today I gave my close second to the B-29 to my stepson, a sweet 1980s Mdl 70 FW XTR 270. In all seriousness I loved the rifle, but I'll never hunt with it again, and he will join his son, Owen, in the 270 fraternity. Owen got my Husqvarna/FN 270 a few years ago and it's claimed three mulies and an antelope.
I can't think of a better round than the 270 for hunting our game under our conditions here in Nevada.
I whole heartily agree!
That makes 3.
