I like my .257 Roberts with 100 gr Barnes TTSX at 3,000 fps using Mule Deer’s load with Ramshot Hunter. I see no reason why a similar TTSX wouldn’t be just fine in 6.5 CM. For the CM, almost everyone has a gay cousin or weird aunt cat lady so don’t be too ashamed! Happy Trails

Most of the discussions here focus on whether the Creed is better than similar, older rounds. I'd be satisfied with it just being as good while offering greater choice in factory rifles with optimal twists, abundant ammo selection, and enough mag to seat the bullets out.
How about some 160gr RNs?

Not shot my 6.5 Creed at anything but paper, but my 260 with 100 NBT's has killed several whitetail and yotes, with DRT results.
I would think the Creed would be no different. H414 is my powder of choice in the 260.

I have a shotgun so I have no need for a 30-06.....

I settled on 129-130 grain bullets for the Swede and they work so well I have not tried the others yet. Seems like a sweet spot for velocity and BC and good for medium ranges. Recoil is almost nil with the lighter bullets too noticeably less than 140s and above which is still modest.
