Know a few guys hunting with this round who were target practicing recently and killed all their deer just by shooting targets in the area. Folks be aware this round is not for the faint at heart and is very deadly so use with caution when busting it off, you could kill every animal within 2 square mile area that you are shooting. Animals just fall dead when the creedlymore is busted off. ......................Well then!..............Everyone should empty their safes, sell all of their rifles and just buy a 6.5 Creed to use as a ONE RIFLE do all cartridge..................................This round walks on water!!
28 Nosler,,,,300WSM,,,,338-378 Wby,,,,375 Ruger

Got a Creed, also a .270, just don't talk about that one much... Even the red headed step child can be dangerous... Deer and hogs cannot tell the difference, only here on the Fire... DF

I have a 6.5 Creedmoor. I have never considered the 22 centerfires to be adequate deer cartridges, yes, they'll most certainly kill a deer....on the other hand, so will a 22 rimfire. It has always been my belief that the 243 is the minimum deer cartridge, with the 270 being the perfect one. The 6.5 is a compromise, it has about as much killing power as a 270, with the recoil of the 243, and in a short action, which I prefer.
Having said that, no cartridge is magic, as the performance of ANY cartridge falls directly upon the man behind the gun. There are a host of cartridges that will work perfectly for deer sized game, and I've used a bunch of them. Just as there are those who are stupid enough to believe that the 6.5 Creedmoor has some kind of magical properties that make it far better than anything else, there are those who are stupid enough to pretend it doesn't exist. It's here to stay, it's a good cartridge, just as there are a host of other good ones as well.

And all this time I thought that it was just another popular medium case capacity cartridge.

Bud has one, Shilen barrel on old Ruger tanger 7RM. I’m going to load 140 Fed Trophy and Accubonds as 130’s were a bit expansive at those speeds. That round is a hammer. With 130’s it’ll just about match the 26 Nosler with140’s. Deer and hogs can’t tell 130’s from 140’s. DF

Aren't there 6.5mm military cartridges older than the 6.5x55? If so, wouldn't the earliest of them be the original 6.5mm.......?

First 2 groups from the Bergara Woodsman in 6.5 Creedmoor last weekend testing OAL. Should probably get rid of it and buy a 260 Rem.

It's here to stay, it's a good cartridge, just as there are a host of other good ones as well. It has the same "magic" that all 6.5 rounds do: Long for caliber projectiles. That gives a 6.5 more push through quarry and makes it appear to hit above it's class, because it does. I have two 6.5x55's and a 6.5x284. All are tack drivers with most any load I work up. The only Creedmore I may make some room for in my safe would be an AR10 variety.

Lots of surplus military firearms, some good buys and some not so good.
