[QUOTE="cajun, post: 1375720, member: 9772"] Who is "creedmoor". This cartridge was designed by Dave Emary a Hornady Engineer and Dennis Demille a well known high power shooter. Dave asked Dennis what he thought the perfect 6.5 would look like. Dave gave his input. Be able to load long BC bullets and fit in a short action. 30 degree shoulder and off the shelf factory ammo for competitors to shoot. Use components available to the public and put the load data on the box. Dave designed and then had to pitch it to Hornady. At the time the market for the round was small. The competition crowd. They scoffed at putting the load data on the box but had to be reminded they sold components too. Eventually as the round gained attention Hornady realized the potential and began to aggressively market the round. Who cares if we "Need" another 6.5. I'm just glad to see a company succesfully bringing a new caliber to market,selling stuff and keeping americans employed. Remington could learn a few lessons. [/QUOTE]
