Might also mention (as I have several times in the past) that I do NOT think the 6.5 Creedmoor is the ultimate round for small to medium big game--which I would class as up to elk size. But have used it enough (and seen it used by hunting partners) on game up to 6x6 bull elk at various ranges that will say that I can't see any damned difference between it and the .270 Winchester. Or for that matter most other rounds in the same class.

But have also mentioned here and there that the longer I hunt big game the less difference is apparent in how differcent cartridges/bullets in the same broad class kill 'em.
