The only thing hot about the 6.5 Creed is the “hype”. It’s a good round but nothing special. Never have truer words been spoken.

Eh, it’s more about efficiency.....power vs recoil vs powder burn vs range vs factory offerings, etc. It’s been set up for being the best it can be in tons of offerings, from day one. Not much tweaking needed at all. It can outperform most 243/260/308, in some way or another, with less recoil, blast, or such. I’m not saying it’s ‘best’, and I still like other stuff as much or more.....but for an off-the-shelf, kid to grownup, hunting rifle round, it’s tough to beat for return on investment.

I was within $50 of buying a Ruger American 6.5 CM Saturday. I sure liked the feel of that gun BUT the ammo choices they had sucked bad. Trying to find any online is wasted time, LOL.
I did have a discussion with a friend. He said that the 6.5 CM is too hot of a round here in AL to do any good. He has had mostly pass through shots with them running off a ways. I told him my Son's 260 has shot a lot of deer and very few, with a good shot placement. has ran off. Still, got me a little hesitant about the 6.5 CM but reading from above, there are some decently heavy bullets available. I still may go back and get that Ruger........................................... HAHAHA wow, safe to assume your buddy isn't an engineer. People kill deer every year with anything from small 60gr 223s, super hotrod magnums like 257wby at 3,500FPS+ and all the way up to big slow 45-70 and muzzleloaders. If you're shooting a quality bullet and placing it correctly, you're going to be successful more often than not with a rifle. The only thing hot about the 6.5 Creed is the “hype”. It’s a good round but nothing special. Never have truer words been spoken. It combines a lot of good characteristics into an easy to buy and easy to shoot package. I'm a fan but not naive to think it's something its not. Is it any better or worse than 6.5X55 or 260? Nope, largely identical but unlike those two you're presented with a dozen 6.5Creedmoor offerings at Academy during normal times.

Not sure what's worse...the 6.5CM fanboys or the 6.5CM haters.
Both are comical and just sitting on the edge of being triggered at the mere mention of the caliber.
