I plan on releasing a whole series of new cartridges named after mental hospitals.

6mm Overbrook
.257 Danvers
.270 Trans-Allegheny
.300 Byberry
.416 Pennhurst

The actual case specs are all very hush-hush at the moment, but it's sort of an amalgamation of the Weatherby and Mondragon case designs, taking the "improved" concept to the fullest, blowing out the shoulder beyond any level heretofore, it's inverted neck allowing maximum case capacity and utilizing all available magazine space.

It will also utilize our propriety VVP bullet. (very very pointy)

And here I was thinking it was named after Dr. Creedmoor.............the shrink that identified and documented Zombie Max Syndrome........... i.e. the mental disability that causes the afflicted to run out and empty their pockets on stuff that is no better than what already existed.....but it's got a cool name. ZMS, as the good doctor calls it, is usually accompanied by zits, a runny nose and premature ejaculation.

It's almost as bad as the highly contagious CMDS (Creedmoor Derangement Syndrome) that is spreading like wildfire. It makes grown men whine and cry more than a 7th grade girtl's slumber party.

I believe, in his research paper, researched at the NIH Clinical Center and published in the New England Journal of Medicine, Dr. Creedmoor asserts that CMDS is the end stage manifestation of untreated, non-intervened ZMS. It's a brutally cruel (yet infinitely entertaining when looking from the outside, in) condition.

The NIMH is actually gearing up for a nationwide campaign to combat ZMS and CMDS.

The spokesperson has signed a 5 year contract. Just waiting on the funding which is being held up as part of the border wall spending bill.

Creedmoor was a firing range and in the late 1800s it was of international notority.
Fad-style shooting came from the shooter there, and "everyone knew' they were the enlightened ones.
I think that part of history is humorous.

"Everyone knew" that only those that embraced the fad would be the real shooters in the coming years.
Here is a pic of the Creedmoor position.

See how well it stood the test of time?
See how it replaced standard "NRA" shooting positions.

Yeah..................me neither.



To be clear, I do believe the 6.5 Creedmoor will go from a fad to a mainstream cartridge because it has real merit. But all the other shells I have seen with "Creedmoor" stamped to their name are a step backwards in my opinion, but like the marketing of the late 1800s, many today will jump on the band wagon to "prove" they are the enlightened ones.

Prove to who I am not sure, but in their minds it IS proof.

For a second, there, I thought that was a page out of The Kama Sutra. grin

As far as the CM living to be a mainstream chambering...……………..time will tell. The only merit it bears, above and beyond the relatively young, but dying .260 Rem is the gun media masturbating en masse over it.

Well stated.

Yeah, I've recently heard the few companies that chamber the Creedmoor are thinking about switching to the .250 Savage.

Had the same question. How much more mainstream could it get?

No, I'm not a Ruger bigot - just an unabashed fan of their revolvers, M77's and #1's.

It is funny how a grown man will let something as simple as a rifle cartridge get the best of him. It is really super simple, if you don't like (for whatever reason in your mind anyways) the Creedmoor don't shoot it. There is a plethora of other offerings to choose from. If you can't understand the advantages re-read Mule Deer's comments. Or maybe open your mind and take one for a spin!

The following rifle manufacturers chamber the 6.5 Creedmoor: Barrett, Blaser, Browning, Franchi, Howa, Mauser, Mossberg, Nosler, Remington, Sako, Sauer, Steyr, Tikka and Winchester. Then there are bunch of more limited-production companies. Most report it's one of their top-selling chamberings, if not the top. Many make more than one model. Blaser, for example, makes both break-action single shots and bolt rifles.

The following companies are offering ammo: Barnes, Berger, Browning, Federal, Hornady, Hunting Shack (HSM), Norma, Nosler, Remington, Sellier & Bellot, Sig Sauer, Swift, and Winchester, plus some brands I've never heard of before.

One of my professional hunter buddies in South Africa also owns a big sporting goods store in Kimberley. He reports at least 3/4 of the new rifles he sells these days are 6.5 Creedmoors, and a friend reports the same thing from a Zimbabwe store.

Obviously the fad is fading.

And Weatherby.

The list was off the top of my head, but I should have remembered Weatherby, because among the 6.5 Creedmoors I've owned (as an experiment to see how the cartridge shot in various makes) was a Weatherby Vanguard.
