I don't own a Creed because I really like owning/shooting cartridges with history behind them as well as performance. My center fires for hunting deer and above with approx year of introduction: 6.5x55 Swede: 1891 30-30: 1895 30-06: 1906 375 H&H: 1912
My hunting buddy does not reload and wanted my help/suggestions in getting him into a rifle for Eastern Washington. I immediately had him buy a 6.5 Creed, because I think it has multiple advantages over many cartridges made "way back when". His Creed shoots sub MOA, is light in recoil, and fits his long-range hunting area to a "T".
To each his/her own.... But for me, I'll shoot the historical old-timers.
Cheers
