[QUOTE="HARPERC, post: 2208262, member: 30671"] My favorite thing about the creedmoor is I just read all 18 pages of this, and for 30 minutes I didn't think about my back pain. Headache yes back no. I admire the capitalist process Hornady took to achieve this, that team deserves a raise. I hate the tradition outdoor writers have of feeling they need to call out as uneducated, stupid, hillbilly or other derogatory terms, to make themselves superior. It goes back decades, and shooting really doesn't need Petzal, Spomer, Barnes, Oconnor etc. I think almost any new case may be most beneficial to the wildcatters. I think while I don't have the 6.5 and won't, a very good shooter and smith pointed out the 6mm, and the most serious predator hunter I know is very positive on the .22. Will either completely eclipse other cartridges in their class, it's unlikely but generally choose based a lot on rifle platform vs subtle cartridge differences. Availability drives my decision, I bought a .260 not based on superiority, but because 6.5's were scarce at the time, and it came available. I would have bought a 6.5x55 if I found a package I liked. Went home to think on a 6.5x55 No.1, and it sold while I was thinking. Should have jumped on it. We have our quirks, I can't stand not having a .30-06 in the safe. If the Creedmoor is this generations pick, I hope we keep it going so the next generation is able pick. I also want a 6.5x65R turned into a rimmed version of a Sherman, but don't expect anyone else to do more than scratch, or shake their head about it, although some will go farther than that to express their disappointment in such a project, It's for me, and the feelings of others will sway me not. You'll shoot your eye out kid doesn't stop with BB guns. [/QUOTE]
