[QUOTE="SDMF, post: 264858, member: 412"] Yes, I throw the odd zinger @ the 6.5Creed-Crowd. That said, the 6.5CM has been the most properly executed product launch of a wildcat into the mainstream shooting/hunting community ever. They first and foremost got the twist right for current as well as future projectiles. They have the chamber dimensions such that you can seat even very long bullets into the lands and still maintain an OAL that'll fit into an unmodified magazine. They developed great ammo for multiple purposes that performs very consistently with what the factory ammo boxes say. Lastly, they developed a cartridge that just about anyone can tolerate the recoil. There are a awful lot of cartridge/bullet combinations that recoil a bunch more than the 6.5Creed that folks would say are "better" for elk and yet deliver less energy past 300yds. I wouldn't rush right out and buy a new 6.5Creed for an upcoming elk hunt, but, if I had one I was confident in already I wouldn't hesitate to use it. [/QUOTE]
