Me and son did few free range exotic hunts few years back. These guys do high / low fence hunts and hunt nearly 365 days a year. See tons of animals killed of all sizes. Far more than any other outfitters in US I would wager. They hated 6.5 creedmoor. Said lose far more animals hit with it than other rounds, even the 243 which they liked. On way back from hunt we ran into another outfitter at gas station and he asked what I was using and said good not that stupid creedmoor. So, as Boddington stated there is disdain out there. My party had several 6.5 CM shooting 139 scenars in it on one hunt and performed great. Being a gun guy I kept picking at it since did not make sense to me and best we could come up with is maybe related to bullets guys are using on average wirh Creedmoor since happy with 243/my parties results with 6.5.

I suspect the reasoning behind the guide/outfitter's disdain for the 6.5 Creedmoor is directly tied to the owners of them having entirely too much faith in what they've read vs. what they've done.
