[QUOTE="Coyote Shadow Tracker, post: 2438830, member: 116439"] We have been shooting the 6.5-08 since the 90s. Then Remington came out with the .260 Remington in 1997. The biggest fault with marketing the .260 was that Remington was making their barrel twist 1:9 and there was no factory ammo with the exception of 140s and 130s if you could find them. Some of us long range shooters got (had the 6.5-08) the 260 and reloaded with every 6.5 (.264) bullets from 100 gr to 140s. Then we started to make our own rifles with the chamber in .260 and 1:8 barrels with 140 gr bullets. Great sucess with this caliber for hunting and 1k shooting. Then came Hornady and with their extensive MARKETING Abilities they jumped on the 6.5 cartridge . The .260 Remington and decided that Hornady could introduce a "NEW" Cartridge to take the market over. -WHICH they did very effetely. Made a cartridge like the .260 and chambered rifles in 1:8 twist AND produced factory ammo for the CREED! Now the beginning of a new story! The 6.5mm Creedmoor, designated 6.5 Creedmoor by SAAMI, 6.5 Creedmoor by the C.I.P. or 6.5 CM or 6.5 CRDMR for short, is a centerfire rifle cartridge introduced by Hornady in 2007. It was developed by Hornady senior ballistics scientist Dave Emary in partnership with Dennis DeMille, the vice-president of product development at Creedmoor Sports, hence the name. The cartridge is a necked-down modification of the.30 Thompson Center. Then a beginning of many more stories. Hornady with their superior Marketing Skills/Abilities started the "CREED EVOLUTION" Now all previous cartridges that were made by Remington or other manufactures would be subjected to a slight change in the cartridge design and then named with a "CREED" sur name. 6.5 Creedmoor (.260 Remington) 6mm Creedmoor -(243 Winchester) 25 Creedmoor 22 Creedmoor 284 Creedmoor 30 Creedmoor 8mm Creedmoor 338 Creedmoor Any rifle you build in the future should have a caliber with the "Creedmoor" name in it. It is sure to be a winner, but you do have to have a "ManBun" or a clip on Bun! If you are a female there is no discrimination. You could just put your hair in a Bun! Edit: I think now the Man Bun is acceptable, but the Mullet/Manbun is coming into fasion. [/QUOTE]
