Ignorance makes all bullets, calibers, chamberings, and rifles equal.
In reality, the 6.5 Creed does have some advantages over the .260 and .270, like proper twist rate and throating in factory rifles for the most ballistically efficient bullets, enough magazine length to seat those bullets out of the powder column, and a wide variety of such bullets available both for handloading and in high-quality factory ammo. Those advantages aren’t accessible or useful to all hunters, but they exist none-the-less and are very useful to shooters who also hunt. Agreed. For some folks if an advantage doesn't apply to their own situation then it's only hype.

Just one mans opinion, but I think the .260/6.5 Creed is a dandy short action replacement for a .270 WCF. No argument from me on that but I would say the same about 7mm-08 vs .270 as well. Tom

I think it’s just a new fad but I’m also a part of it.
The 270 is well proven but the 6.5 is very easy to shoot
I’m pushing 140s in 270 at 3050
And 130s at 2900 in the 6.5 and it’s easier to connect longer ranges
I’d have to look but I think after 500 yards the 6.5 catches up How long before something isn't a fad? The Creedmoor is twelve years old if I remember right.

The Creedmoor may be 12 years old, but the 270 Win is 96. I'd bet that in 96 years, the 6.5 Creedmoor will be nothing but a distant memory.

Amen to that, moosemike!!! I've been shooting a 270 Win since I started hunting big game in 1975. A lot of other calibers have come and gone since then, but I've never been without a 270. For the past 20 years, I've been shooting my 7X57, but only because it's a little softer recoiling.

I'll bet you neither of us will be alive in 96 years to know or not! I sure as hell enjoy shooting it now! I could careless if it's gone or not in 96 years. But I am sure you are right and something better will come along with the advancements in our world. Stand still and you get run over!

No, but some of its owners have. I'd say you've got that backwards. It's the critics who are deep in the worst part of their monthly cycle... that's why these idiotic threads are "cyclical"

It is irrelevant what you think. What matters is the TRUTH.
