JB,
The best Goldilocks round so far.
All excellent points--and exactly what I found after actually using the round more than a little bit for the last dozen years!
In fact, as I've mentioned before, have continued to buy factory 6.5 Creedmoor rifles to see how well they shoot, especially with factory ammo. So far there's only been one disappointment, but suspect it was due to the the rifle's stock, as I just bought another of the same brand but with a much improved stock, and it shoots very well.
