My major point about the article was that Craig was anti-.270 for decades on game larger than deer. Then he tried it and found out he was wrong--thought he didn't really start admitting it until he saw how well similar rounds, such as the 7mm-08, also worked om game larger than deer.

Now he feels the same way about the 6.5 Creedmoor (and similar rounds) as he used to about the .270. From what I've read, he does have some experience with them, but very limited. I do have more than a little experience with such 6.5 rounds (and have PLENTY experience with the ..270.

Have yet to see any difference between them and the .270 in field performance, given similar bullets. But then, the longer I hunt, the less difference I see in "killing power" between most cartridges.
