The Creedmoor is an amazing cartridge. What other 6.5 cartridge can launch a 140 grain bullet at 2700ish FPS? Absolutely ground breaking!
oh, say:
260, 6.5 x 55, 6.5 x 57, 6.5/06....
Thats just the ones I've loaded for...
and then there is the magnum based cartridges....
I look at the Creedmoor as just reinventing the wheel, in comparison to the 260...
the market in the USA always seem to favor what's "new and improved" ( a marketing concept) over the "tried and proven" trends of yesteryear.
