[QUOTE="Calvin45, post: 2758515, member: 109862"] Hey man I think this is some truth here…it’s like preaching to the choir here to have a problem with the 6.5 creed so I don’t. I’m a .243 owner (among other cartridges) and will straight up say: Any merit the .243 had as a novice/women/youth cartridge for big game hunting is FAR overshadowed by the 6.5 creedmoor. The 6.5 is a better big game round. Period. If you can take the recoil of a .243 I don’t know that the 6.5 is much different. And it’s plainly more reliable on deer+ size game. For crying out loud, so many have respect for the 6.5 Swede (myself included) and bash the 6.5 creed like it’s a gimmick. It is not a 700 yard elk cartridge. It is overhyped and well marketed. We all know that. But it’s a perfectly useful hunting round (and far more practical than many) that dang near anyone could shoot well. [/QUOTE]
