How does anyone look at the merits of what the 6.5 Creedmoor brings to the table and say they don't like it? When you look at what other cartridge designs have struggled with:

- Overall length to accommodate short-action magazines
- Brass availability from multiple vendors
- Chamber dimensions designed for what the cartridge was intended for
- Soft shooting platform which can entice youngsters to the sport
- Can work as both a predator cartridge and an elk cartridge given proper bullet selection

I latched onto the .260 Rem. scene 10 years ago. Had it not been for that, I'd be deep into 6.5 Creedmoor. However, I respect what it offers and I want one even if I am giving up 75 fps. Having seen what kind of groups I can get with the .260 at 1,000 yds, I believe the 6.5s are here to stay as opposed to years past where American hunters hated anything not .30 cal.
