I think that part of history is humorous.

"Everyone knew" that only those that embraced the fad would be the real shooters in the coming years.
Here is a pic of the Creedmoor position.

See how well it stood the test of time?
See how it replaced standard "NRA" shooting positions.

Yeah..................me neither.



To be clear, I do believe the 6.5 Creedmoor will go from a fad to a mainstream cartridge because it has real merit. But all the other shells I have seen with "Creedmoor" stamped to their name are a step backwards in my opinion, but like the marketing of the late 1800s, many today will jump on the band wagon to "prove" they are the enlightened ones.

Prove to who I am not sure, but in their minds it IS proof.


For a second, there, I thought that was a page out of The Kama Sutra. grin

As far as the CM living to be a mainstream chambering...……………..time will tell. The only merit it bears, above and beyond the relatively young, but dying .260 Rem is the gun media masturbating en masse over it.
