6.5 Creed is a great cartridge. Really, besides large bears and dangerous game, it can do it all. Hunting, target, varmints, accurate, inexpensive, low recoil....what is not to like?
Quit being so insecure. Led Zeppelin is still a great band even though classic rock radio overplay basically ruined their 'hits' to my ears.
Whoa!!! Don't bring Zeppelin into this! I don't care how much YOUR classic rock radio overplayed Led Zep over the years, they are still the best rock band of all time.... Bar none!
Yes I know that is a matter of opinion so no need to remind me!
As far at the Creed goes, I've been shooting and loading for a 7mm-08 for 20 years, no need for the Creed...
Ninety-five percent of folks haven't been trained well enough to shoot 300 yards and couldn't find their azz with both hands, two flashlights and a full-length mirror!
Unless they buy a 6.5 Creedmoor. The chambering is absolutely transformative. Just ask them.
Absolutely Paul.
It's not mentioned much in these parts, or anywhere else for that matter, but a rifle chambered in such can hit the 8" gong at 600 yard without even having been aimed.
Set it in the stand on the bench, muzzle pointed downrange (well, one must have it pointed in the right direction at a minimum), make sure range is cleared, pull trigger, bang-clang. Easy Peasy.
If you tell it "Shoot the 380 bull, not the 370" and point it at the herd it will do the same as the gong. Bang-Flop. Of course, one might have to spin the special dials on the fancy scope to "380" so it can tell the difference. After all, that's what them dials are for.
It's not mentioned much as the manufacturers and ammo companies are already having a hard time keeping up with demand. Besides, they have all those .22, 6mm, .25, 270, 7mm. etc etc barrels already in stock not to mention the tooling for all those long action/magnum rifles. How would they make a profit off them if all they could sell was Creedleymores?

PS, I saw a post on a forum that mentioned the point and shoot aspect..................must be true.

I believe scenarshooter can provide you with some evidence that may alter your thinking about mid size 6.5mm cartridge capability.
Maybe. I am always open to learning. Actually I would invite that evidence. I do confess that I do have ideas and opinions, but I am not stuck to my opinions to the point that I will hang on to them even in the face of evidence that goes contrary to my opinion.
Well then, take this advice.......when scenarshooter speaks, start taking notes.
AMEN!

I think the Creedmessiah owners really believe that crap when they post it.

Did you mean Creedence as in CCR? 😁
Well we're Green and we're Gold, and we play better when it's cold. All us Cheese heads have our favorite superstar. We love Brett Favre.
I bought my first 6.5 Creedmoor many years ago before the chambering developed a cult following. As its cult status has developed and gained momentum, so too have the legions of idiots that rally around it. Seems everywhere I go there are fawning sycophantic roundmouths spewing bile about it. It has really gotten so bad that I have divested myself of all three of the 6.5 Creedmoors I had previously enjoyed.
I know that sounds extreme, but in casual conversation with some decent, educated rifle loonies I'd mention my Creedmoors. The look of abject fear on their faces said it all. A good chat would come to an uncomfortable close. They'd switch topics. They'd pull out their cell phones and pretend they had an urgent text. A look on their face would say "Dear God, please don't let this guy talk to me."
I was standing at the gun counter in Cabelas asking to see the Tikka T3X in 6.5 Creedmoor. The counter clerk immediately begins telling me about what an awesome 1000 yard caliber it is. I asked him if there seemed to be a lot of demand in our area for 1000 yard deer rifles. He was prepared. He mentioned a few power lines and gas lines a couple parishes away, saying that with a good Vortex Strike Eagle you could dial the drop right in to connect. I asked how much a 140 grain bullet would drift in a 10 MPH crosswind over the course of the 1000 yard flight. He he stuttered and stammered a bit before muttering something unintelligible, then turned his attention to a skinny jeans wearing 20 something year old with a Grizzly Adams beard and a man bun who had walked up and stood close enough that his flannel shirt was touching me. Their conversation started with Mr. man bun remarking that he had heard the 6.5 Creedmoor was the flattest shooting round ever developed. That was months ago. They are probably still talking.
It's everywhere. The lunacy is pervasive and contagious. Last night on Facebook my bud posted a pic of a 3 shot group he'd fired with his new 257 Weatherby. He had sighted it in 2 inches high at 100. Never mentioned what bullet, what bullet weight, whether or not it was a handload or what velocity. Not that it really matters relative to the Creedfag's comments that followed. Here are the Creedmagic fan club member's comments for you to enjoy.
"2 inches high at 100 yards would make it way high at 300 yards. Should have bought a 6.5 creedmoor"
My bud responded by posting a trajectory table with a 200 yard zero. That elicited this this jewel:
"I have shot mine over 1000 yards. Not worried about ballistics."
The guy was serious too. Sadly his affliction is not at all uncommon. I can only pray that the cockweasles don't start rallying around the 6.5 PRC.
Kind of reminds me of the Glockophiles.

The older I become the more I am convinced that the voice of honor in a man's heart is the voice of GOD.
The O.P is One who vehemently stands with the pita spandex road bicycle fraternity or virus that infects our roads and pedestrian pathways..yet is bitching about the creedmoor crowd ..
the irony.
how many flogs feel the need for a carbon frame/fork bike, cause you know the pro TdF riders all have them...lol.
its riveting stuff when they stop for a coffee on their Sunday ride, and chat about the aero coefficient and critical few grams they saved by also getting a matching wind tunnel tested carbon-fibre water bottle cage.
