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.
I don't think you could be more wrong. I have no dog in the fight, not even owning a Creedmoor, but I'd bet its popularity will only gain momentum.
Remington has already announced they will be chambering their affordable 700 SPS in 6.5 Creedmoor.
BACO will never be a go-to for the average hunter, but i bet they start chambering in the near future. The "Extreme Weather" would be an ideal platform.
Hornady makes a standard 129 Interlock load... for $20 a box, I can't imagine what a finer, more affordable whitetail load could be:
