Home Forums Hunting & Shooting General Big Game What does Creedmoor really mean???

I think the popularity comes down to the fact that a great many people are far more recoil sensitive than they will openly admit,
and the fact that the vast majority of deer are killed at well under 300 yards,
making the real lack of the 6.5 creed moor cartridges ability to provide a impressive down range punch on more than paper ,
of little consequence, to the majority of purchasers.
I'm not saying you need a magnum, and a 6.5 creed moor cartridges ability , to kill game at reasonable ranges is well documented.
but marketers are well aware that most game is killed at well under 300 yards, and that most people can,t hit crap past 300 yards.
personally I see the practical advantage of the 6.5 creedmoor over a properly loaded 270 win, in the hands of joe average.... as ZERO,
