I honestly have nothing to fill the gap between my 22-250 & my 30-06. I’ve almost pulled the trigger several times over the years with a .243, 25-06, 260, 7mm-08, & .270 but since the 6.5 Creedmoor made its appearance I’ve really had my interest peaked by it. I’m glad I’ve held off this long. I think I can make my purchase with zero regrets of my choice of chambering at this point ... only worried about my choice of rifle make & model now.

i can talk myself into any rifle, and if i then pause from the desire for a week, i can talk myself out of it... i have saved a lot of gun money using that technique... Whoa! That's pretty extreme!

Get the .270,factory ammo can be found anywhere and it's been around for 92-93 years.

With a couple of 6.5 Swedes on hand, I'd also been holding off on jumping aboard the 6.5 Creed train. That is until the Barrett Fieldcraft came to be and pushed me over the edge. I'm now anxiously waiting for scope mounts and brass to arrive...

I’ve been holding off and it’s really getting to me now. Am I safe to assume this isn’t a fad any longer? My goals are a mid-size chambering I don’t have to reload for. I want just 1 rifle I can put factory fodder through and expect it to do it well. Not saying I’ll never reload for it like all my others but I want the simplicity of an accurate rifle with factory ammo. If this chambering is here to stay it may just be time for me to drink the Kool-aid! You're a bit late to the party. It almost ain't cool no more! 
If you take the time it takes, it takes less time.

Then buy a lifetime supply of ammo when you buy the gun. There is no guarantee any chambering will have factory ammo on the shelf in the future.
If after purchasing I can settle on a factory round that shoots well and is very effective on game, I very well might take this advice Try some hornady precision hunter 143 gr eld-x

R17 gives me 125+fps more than H4350 and accuracy is the same for me. YMMV.

You might wanna rethink the 270

Better wait a while longer, five or ten years at least. Wouldn't want to be hasty.

I am pretty sure misspelling Creedmore is a prerequisite for Johnny-come-lately fan boys.

I’m waiting on the Magum Creedmoor. That would be called a 264 Winchester Magnum. Which is NOT new at all. lol
