It is silly to run a 6.5 mm bullet more than about 3100 or so when you can step up to a 7mm with the infinitely better bullets- this coming from a hard-core 6.5 shooter. 6.5-284, 6.5-06 and similar are about all you should do with this caliber. A 7WSM is a shoulder better in performance than a 6.5-284 if you can stand the recoil.
The 6.5-284 and 260AI are very easy to get to shoot well. Never fired a Creedmoor but it's probably great too. Been working with a 6.5x47L and it is a real dog. Too bad.
