The reason the Creedmoor is so popular is it does so many things so well... were I starting my kids out today they’d be equipped with rifles so-chambered.
Positives:
Extremely accurate, affordable ammunition available everywhere and is loaded to the gills.
(270 ammunition - and even some 7-08 ammo - is incredibly anemic).
Makes best use of the commonly used 2.8” SA magazine.
Twisted correctly from the factory.
Recoil is minimal.
Varmints to elk capability.
Negatives:
Cranky old dudes don’t like it.
Cranky old dudes can’t spell it.
Does it mean that there aren't "super accurate" .270's and .7mm-08 rifles?
I understand that gun makers must find the way to sell guns, and that specially some gun writers push the new guns, but in reality there are all kinds of .6.5's (.264's) that are just as accurate. Some even launch their bullets at the same speeds as the now "super accurate" 6.5.
