Why the need for a Creedmoore when the 6.5 Swede loaded to equal pressures exceeds the Creed in velocity with less compression?
Give a man a fish and he eats for a day. Give a man a welfare check, a forty ounce malt liquor, a crack pipe, an Obama phone, free health insurance. and some Air Jordan's and he votes Democrat for a lifetime.

Velocity per se was not the driving force behind the Creedmoor.

I had a sheep rifle made for me by Harry McGowan some years ago. I wanted a light LH bolt. He asked if I was a reloader,
When I said yes, he recommended a 6.5-06 with one of his pencil barrels. Sounded good to me.

Bleed over from a competition niche and more/better factory offerings. But hand me 1,000 loaded rounds and a 1/2 MOA rig and I'll take either one.

Oh boy, don't let Barsness see this post........ https://gunsmagazine.com/why-the-6-5-creedmoor/Biggest advantages I see to the Creedmoor is a long neck and shoulder angle that goes a long ways towards preserving barrel life, rifles that are twisted to accommodate heavy bullets that are increasingly popular among loonys, and a lot of factory ammo offerings.

It can be used in a short action and has a standard case head. Why do so many people complain about it? It's just another cartridge. Truly all the 6.5's are similar and each has their aficionado's. suum cuique
This has been gone over extensively on many forums, joked about, bitched about, lied about and cried about. It is the most maligned cartridge since the .270 I think.

I have often thought you were dumb as a rock. This post proves it. A) Short Action rifles. B Not everybody handloads C) Ammo avaiability (try getting 6.5 Swede ammo at Walmart etc.) D) Rifle abaiability. Just about ebery maker chambers for the Creedmoor. And just about every gunshop has a few rifles in stock. Not so with the Swede.

Has everyone forgotten the short and super short versions of pretty much everything they could think of a while back? ![[Linked Image]](http://cdn0.wideopenspaces.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/223-wssm-.jpg)

^^ this. Who cares? Fo Sho! I bought a 6..5 CM because I wanted a light recoiling, accurate, round. It happens to be cheap to buy ammo, damn near everywhere has it now too. It's accurate a lot further out than I can shoot, but for the ranges I hunt, it's an excellent round. I bought a Kimber Hunter. Some like them, some don't. But I don't GAS what someone else thinks of my stuff. It's a nice little, lightweight rifle that shoot sub-MOA with a 200yd sight in.

The gun is lights out accurate. I'm talking that I've never seen a gun more accurate...he has one box of shells left. Nobody stocks them anymore.

Nine simple letters - 5 consonants, 4 vowels (when not consistently butchered in prose).
I don't recall a single word that's gotten so many undies in a bunch here like the word Creedmoor.
