Had no idea this amount of conspiracy theory, paranoia and anger over inanimate objects could exist outside Facebook. Maybe it's just a sign of the times, but definitely worth watching. Might be able to make money on an essay or two on the phenomenon.

It's a secret code.
The "C" at the beginning is an abbrevation of "Cash," because you only have to spend abbreviated cash to buy an accurate 6.5 Creedmoor.
The "reed" spelled backwards is "deer."
"Moor" is a common Campfire misspelling of "more."
Put it all together and it means more deer for less cash. So! Contrary to what everybody said you can't use it for elk!

but marketers are well aware that most game is killed at well under 300 yards, and that most people can,t hit crap past 300 yards. personally I see the practical advantage of the 6.5 creedmoor over a properly loaded 270 win, in the hands of joe average.... as ZERO,
If the obvious escapes you, then you aren't likely to be overcome with enlightenment. If you are indeed open, here's your answer: One advantage for Joe Average is he'll be burning 10 to 15 grains less powder per shot, with the attendant reduction in recoil/blast. So Joe may find more practice more fun. From what I've observed a lot of people are over gunned and under practiced.

I'm pretty sure that mule deer nailed it
-Jake Yes, I think JB nailed it. What I don't like about it, is once you try one, it's hard not to get hooked. I had this notion, I just had to buy a new rifle. One in particular (Savage 12fv) that my buddy was talking/raving about. It was a great deal and on sale (less than $400.00), had a heavy barrel and was sure to work for that MOA all day long challenge here. I decided I didn't want another damn 223 rem, the twist rate on the 22-250 was all wrong (1 in 12) and too damn slow, the 308w I don't like, the 204 Ruger too small and not really something I'm interested in, so all that was left was the 6.5 creedmoor. I had to buy it, I guess. Long story short, it performs exceedingly well, is very accurate at all ranges I've shot it at, its bullets cuts through the wind like nobodies business, is extremely easy to load for, recoils gently in a heavier rifle and yes it's a great cartridge. This is coming from someone that didn't fall victim to the hype, but decided to buy one just because it's the one that made the most sense at the time. Now I have 2 6.5 creed's and almost bought another one last weekend.
I try to stick with the basics, they do so well. Nothing fancy mind you, just plain jane will get it done with style. You want to see an animal drop right now? Shoot him in the ear hole. BSA MAGA

I read that “Q” shoots a creedmore. Nope we shoot 1000yds a month after the " Q" and it is called the Montana 1000yd championship. Nobody shoots from Creedmoor position but either sitting behind cross sticks or prone over x sticks and we use smaller targets than they did 140 years a go.MB

Well, something had to usurp the mystical, magical 270 Winchester from its throne.
