If the 6.5 Creed is wrong, I don't wanna be right....

Tell that to Hornady....it's their number one selling centerfire cartridge. And by quite a stretch I'm told.
And no, I don't own one.

Here's the problem. Father Time evaluated our myriad of calibers and made the following determination. Findings were based on the most advantageous designation, ie. caliber in inches or millimeters. If the numbers can be found on a clock it ain't gay.
4mm/.177 - 4 ain't gay. Dang near time to start swillin' good liquor.
5mm/.20 - Ditto
.221-.224 - not gay
.6mm/.243 - not gay
.257" - 42 times zones removed from gay
6.5mm/.264 - In all fairness, there sorta is a 6-1/2 o'clock so it gets a pass. Borderline....but not gay.
6.8mm/.277" - Well, hello there! You kinda stand out in a crowd. Is it painful?
7mm/.284 - It's Dinner Time! Not gay.
.308 - Manly stuff, not gay
.321" - nope
8mm - no way
.358" - negatory
.375" - Ho LI Flamer!
.405" - Whiskey on the house!
.416" - Don't let the rhino fall on ya
.430" - no
.458 - Elephants don't think it's gay at all
.510 - Boy, what is this "gay" you keep prattling about?
.570 - As a 3 dollar bill.....
Don't ask about pistol cartridges. I don't have much use for them.
Hhmmm...conspicuously absent is the .366 / 9.3mm. Has it just been outed?

RR, the old man got in touch, the oversight has been corrected. His memory ain't what it used to be...4 billion years ago...

When I rafted the Rio Grande and jumped outa the raft having forgotten I had my watch on, it said many odd things. Not legit, I know...but I just don't want the 9.3 to be gay. Can't we say 9.3 is like 9:30? The beauty of it is we would not have to give the .270 / 6.8 a pass. See how that works?

The 300 mag toters are compensating, and saying the 6.5 Creedmoor is gay is just projection of their feelings of inadequacy.

It's a coin toss on which is funnier. You've got one group who think the creed is cool and don't really know why. Then you have the other tools who want to poke fun at th creed more while most of it goes over their 62 year old heads.

What could be a sadder way to end a life than to die having never hunted with great dogs, good friends and your family?

RR, after consideration the ol' man relents. He sez 9.3 would be the same as 9:18 and that is on the clock.

Their both gay.
The .270 is considered the back door bandit or bone smuggler.
The creed is the Carpet muncher or Pussy Puncher.

I shot magnums when I was young and dumb, but I grew up before my skull got numb. -sniff- Was using belt feed before I ever shot a bolt action. You want a numb skull, park your butt about 6' from the muzzle of a minigun.  Tend to under compensate in my later years.

All my live, having refused to use the word "gay" to describe a homosexual, I won't attach that sobriquet to either cartridge. The 270 has more than proven itself after almost 100 years. The 6.5 Creedmoor....the thing with it is that it does no more, and sometimes less, than a dozen cartridges that came before it. Some by well over 100 years.
