Between my 7mm-08 Encore rifle and Kimber sporterized 6.5x55 Swedish Mauser I just never felt the urge to get a 6.5 Creed. I've seen them used on game and a buddy has one and I do some reloading for him. It's a nice cartridge but I'm already happy in a ballistic way with my current 6.5x55 & 7mm-08. The 6.5x55 I refer to as a 6.5 Swedemoor.
I like my 7-08, too. Probably use it more than my Swede or Creed. But JB’s new article has interested me in trying some of his loads in the Creed.
Loony stuff, for sure.
Deer don’t know the difference.
Not sure hunters can tell much difference, either.
