There is one thing I've found with the 6.5 Creedmoor and the 6.5 PRC that I don't like compared to other cartridges I've used including 6.5s. It takes a lot more effort on the "out stroke" when sizing brass. Didn't happen with the .264. Doesn't happen with others .. .243, .308,etc. It's those two. Same procedures, same neck brushing, same lube, etc. All I can figure is it's a result of very much thicker brass in the case neck area.
Anyone who thinks there's two sides to everything hasn't met a M�bius strip.
Here be dragons ...

"I’d take a 270 Win over the 6.5 CM. I also prefer a low SD flat based round, I think they have better take down."
I concur whole heartedly.
RUMs are like woman in Stiletto heals, you know they are going to put you in the poor house, but that has never stopped anyone from pursuing them.

I put the 6.5 Creedmoor in the same category as the 243 Win. A great round for women and kids. True, and laughable at the same time.
It is irrelevant what you think. What matters is the TRUTH.

It's not going anywhere. It offers much in the accuracy department and is mild mannered.

Simple test: Size a piece of brass without the expander ball in place. Size one with the expander ball in place. Measure the outside diameter of the necks. The difference in the measurement will tell you how much the die over sizes the necks for that batch of brass.

I have come to like the 6.5 Creed. The 1 time fired brass makes very good 250 Sav. brass with just a little trimming the length after sizing.

I thought it was a some what interesting breakdown of all the cartridges similar and compared them quickly, I've seen a lot worse videos and it covered a lot of info.
And I don't own a 6.5. This ^^ kwg

Scope and rings await install on my recently acquired Goen’s 6.5x55. First rifle in that diameter for me. On the topic, shoot whatever the hell you want.

I own a couple 6.5 Cm's and while it's not my favorite I carry it a lot since my 7 and 9 year olds can shoot it well and it does a fine job on whitetail here. The boys can't handle the recoil of bigger rounds and it pokes a bigger hole than the 223 and 243.

We don't hate change, but we do access it critically, and we don't buy the latest and greatest until we think it's better than what we already have. I suspect the 6.5 is slowing down because the magazine writers and the gun makers have convinced people that the newest is the best.

I"m 62, I love the easy button......the 6.5CM is the "its so freaking easy button" JeffO can even do it and he can barely open a box of bullets.

I like rifles and I have an inquiring mind, so I like to try new rifles and cartridges even if they are redundant to rifles and cartridges that I already have experience with. I had a couple dozen rifles chambered in 256 Newton, 260, 6.5x55, and 6.5-284 before I bought my first 6.5 CM in 02/14, but I was curious to try it, so now I find myself with 18 of them.
My experience with the 6.5 CM on whitetails and coyotes has been the same as with all of the other cartridges that I shoot, put an expanding bullet into the lungs and the animals dies. IMO, the 6.5 CM's primary advantages over the other 6.5mm bore cartridges is the abundance of quality factory ammo, a particularly important consideration for the majority of hunters who aren't handloaders, and lots of relatively inexpensive and potentially accurate rifles chambered for it.

If you spent more time learning how to vote in a presidential election as you do screwing around with 6.5's we'd all be better off.
