I love Creedmore articles…. It’s fun watching the new kid on the block struggling to keep up with my 6.5x55.
Velocity wasn't the point of the Creedmoor.
Your 6.5x55 would have trouble keeping up with my 264 Winchester magnum, as would the Creedmoor. Again, not the point of the Creedmoor.
I enjoy watching all the folks that see everything new as some kind of threat to what they already have, not just the Creedmoors and PRCs, and not just rifles either.
There’s seldom a good reason to abandon something that works for you just to keep up with the trend, but there’s also generally no reason to buy into the old stuff when newer stuff has an advantage, and more options available. I made certain my newest .223 had a fast twist, and I’ll probably never buy a new .243, because newer 6s are better designed, and give me more choices for bullet selection. That reasoning applies to optics, clothing, and electronics, and doubtless other stuff that eludes me for the moment.
