[QUOTE="gone_fishing, post: 189180, member: 708"] I don't have a 6.5 creedmoor so I have no first hand experience but I've read that one of the selling points of the 6.5 (besides ballistics) is the moderate recoil. Not a big deal for once a year hunting but if someone is interested in getting into target shooting, less recoil is always a plus. Of course their are other factors that determine felt recoil (gun weight being a big one). Ammunition availability always plays a factor for the non-reloaders such as myself. I'm seeing that 6.5 is becoming more popular and most big box stores carry it. One of the advantages of older calibers that have been around a long time is ammunition is easy to find if you are in a pickle. 30-06, .308, .270 win can be found at about any mom/pop store that has ammo.
