[QUOTE="Creedmoor shooter, post: 1515539, member: 72601"] The creed isnt a wonder round. I do like it, but I won't make it something it's not. I know way back when I started on this forum I was a supporter and thought it was the best thing for nearly any situation. That being said I've gained alot of knowledge since that time and have changed my mind set on different things. The creed is a good long range target round to whatever your supersonic range is which for me is about 1500ish yards depending on what bullet I'm using. For hunting, its definitely not a elk round. It's a great deer/black bear cartridge for short to midrange of about 500-600 yards maximum. Hornady made sure all their ducks were in a row on this one. I'll probably always own one just because I feel it's one of the most versatile SA cartridges with the selection of 6.5mm bullets and the ability to load them at moderate speeds and still fit them in the magazine.. You can get more out of the short action with say a 260AI but then your dealing with fireforming. After dealing with 22-250AI, for me fire forming is for the birds and wouldnt want to do that again. I'd rather buy the brass, load and shoot. The 260Ai is also better in the long action. My 6.5 cm with a 150 smk loaded .020 off the lands just barely fits in my magazine.
