As much as I like it, I'm not convinced that the 6.5 Creedmoor is going to be a mainstream hunting cartridge, because REM/WIN haven't shown a commitment to it by cataloging it in their most popular bolt action hunting rifles. Also, most of the current 6.5 Creedmoor factory ammo is geared toward long range hunting and target shooting, not, at least IMO, toward the average one box of ammo per year deer hunter.
