I jumped on the 6.5 Creedmoor bandwagon last year. Bought a cheap Howa, loaded up some ammo, and shot some of the best groups I've ever fired. I also had a 7-08 and a 270, but I wanted to see what the 6.5 CM was about. No doubt it's here to stay, because it's a good accurate cartridge. But at the normal hunting ranges that 95% of us will shoot at game at, there will no difference between any of those 3, just as long as the shooter does their job correctly.
Still, I don't plan on getting rid of mine, and may even buy another one. It's too good to ignore. But, on the other hand, so are the 7-08 and the 270. Pick any one of those 3, and you can't go wrong.
