All the .264/6.5 cartridges are great.alot of good bullets available since the gheymore came out and got the .264's more popular than ever.
Have shot and killed deer fine with all the traditional bullets from 120gr ballistic tips,130gr accubonds,129gr sst,130gr gamechangers and Hornady 140 gr. Interlock.
Out of 260 Remington not 6.5 Creed all but same velocities though
I just got bored hunting with the smaller cartridges.

Hornady definitely did a good job selling the cartridge cause guys that don't study reloading manuals or know better thought is was a like buying a 7mm stw or something.....first thing a company chambers a new rifle in nowadays is 6.5 Creed go figure

It just gave guys know different cartridge ballistics something to make fun of.🤣

Hell Hornady had guys selling 308's and 7mags for the superior killing power and long range performance of the Creed.drank the Cool aid
