Who said the 264 is no good it is a great magnum round but tough on barrels.I'm still trying to figure out why the .264 Winchester is no good and the Creed can
shoot holes in the moon.

What I know is that it pretty much the choice for today's law enforcement snipers for many departments across the country and the round is winning in long distance championships. Is the 308 the round of yesterday not sure it still wins championshipSo seems only thing in na gun magizine now days is 6.5 creedmore.Some hoe its the holy grail of guns. I am not knocking it. Just that looking at ballistic numbers I do not see it as any better rnd than a lot of older tried and true rounds. Give me your sells pitch.

Thats just like comparing small block to big block in gas mileage.One word...barrel burner
Yea it's good for what it was designed for. and as I stated the hype is more then the actual,See my post above re the true intent of the 6.5Creedmor design.
My buddy loves his Swedemoor as well.I have looked at it and the 6.5 X 47, but I am sticking with my 6.5 X 55.
What I know is that it pretty much the choice for today's law enforcement snipers for many departments across the country and the round is winning in long distance championships. Is the 308 the round of yesterday not sure it still wins championship but I would say that some would also say the the winner of 2 world wars is still the king. Myself I use all them it depends on how much you want to shoot in a afternoon but for hunting it's is the one a person can effectively use and get an ethical kill. Where I live some say the old thirty thirty is king and has killed more deer than the rest.
If I had a choice between a 308 Win and 65CM I'd take the 65cm. To me that's what it replaces. Lighter recoiling and accurate. Allows newer and older shooters to enjoy and learn. It has more positives than negatives. Yes there are faster 6.5's, yes there are lighter recoiling rounds but this seems to hit a sweet spot.So seems only thing in na gun magizine now days is 6.5 creedmore.Some hoe its the holy grail of guns.

I think for a bolt gun there are far better options. However where I think the Creedmore shines is in an AR10 plateform! Mutiple hits at a grand within seconds of each other, and i recomend JP for parts!So seems only thing in na gun magizine now days is 6.5 creedmore.Some hoe its the holy grail of guns.
