There's absolutely nothing wrong with the creedmoor or any of the plethora of "new" cartridges. I do wonder at everyones drive to be different, like every one else...
The creedmoor was at least designed to meet a perceived need. And it does so rather well...
I don't even own one, but am loading for 2 of them, and teaching the owners to load.

I had one, granddaughter took it away from me, so I had to get another one. Grandson heard about her getting that rifle, he is asking"where is mine"?

There must be some around here, but I've never seen one that wasn't mine at the range.
'Saw a good deal on an RAR-P in 6mm Creedmoor, $300, but I think that I'll stick with the 243, 6mm, and 6-284 for the foreseeable future.

I bought because the 250 Savage is great, but lacking bullet choices.

Came in at 7th place in the Precision Rifle Series number of wins by cartridge.
That's like 4 places behind the old 243 Winchester.

I don't think I shoot any other caliber that people love to hate more.... Next someone is going to tell me that they don't think my Glock is cool either... Feelings so hurt.

What's funny is that some of you guys think it's the cartridge that is being made fun of.

Is it the new .270? Inquiring minds want to know?

I do wonder at everyones drive to be different, like every one else... Kind of like tattoos. Most getting them say they want to "express their individuality" or some rubbish like that. I don't get how tattooing yourself like 85% of the rest of the population is expressing your individuality.

I don't think the elite neck-tatooed snowflakes would be caught dead with a plebian 6.5 Creedmoor, way too mainstream and conformist. 6.5x47l, .260 AI, 6 Dasher, 6 SLR, now those are chamberings that properly communicate their owners specialness and savvy.

Count me in the category of people tired of hearing the endless talk of how great it is by it's owners. It's almost impossible to have a thread without someone pimping the creedmoor. I have a cartridge that pushes .264" 140 grain bullet at 2700 fps & it's a 120 years old.

Everyone who actually reloads there own ( True Rifle Loonies) know the 6.5X55 Swede is where it's at! 😀 Trystan
Good bullets properly placed always work, but not everyone knows what good bullets are, or can reliably place them in the field
