I would guess some 6.5 Creedmoor shooters are using lighter bullets at higher velocities than the heavier, high-BC bullets the cartridge was original designed for because of the tendency of even "affordable" 6.5 Creedmoor factory rifles to be very accurate, and and the traditional obsession with high muzzle velocity. Not everybody buys a 6.5 Creedmoor these days to shoot 500+ yards.
I would also guess they do this with Creedmoors rather than 6.5 PRCs or 6.5-.284s or 6.5-06s because of those affordable, accurate factory rifles--especially compared to custom rifles. Longer barrel life and lighter recoil might be other reasons.
But apparently that's not the Campfire Way, at least for some members.
