John,thanks for posting about the 6.5 Creedmoor ! it sure gets positive and a few negative replies. one of my custom benchrest rifles i had built that i spent a lot of money on, i had a choice around 10-15 years ago to chamber either a 6.5x284 or a 6.5 Creedmoor,i went the wrong way with a 6.5x284 yes the rifle shot excellent 2`s and 3`s but as i got older the recoil laying down shooting FTR class by the end of the day the recoil was painful and no longer fun to shoot this cartridge anymore. so now this great bench rifle is chambered in a 6.5 Creedmoor and to be honest the ballistics are not that much different but my shoulder feels better after a day shooting now. so ya i drank the Koolaid too ! but if i deer hunt hand me my 257 Weatherby Mag., i like the way i smack big bucks with this cartridge better.
