[QUOTE="CBH Australia, post: 2201417, member: 116486"] I'm aware of the .300wm, .338lapua and .50BMG being adopted as Sniper rounds. I think one recent evolution of sniper rifles has been a switch barrel system adopted. [MEDIA=youtube]ILrdEcCRWWA[/MEDIA] It had 3 barrel s I think. One being b.308 for practice and use, a .300 magnum variant and one other. (Just found link) [MEDIA=youtube]ILrdEcCRWWA[/MEDIA] I have a .300wm in a sporter and quite like it among others. I can't vouch for the accuracy of that video but I take it the system vhas been adopted by the US military. No 6.5cm in the contract package. As for my cartridge choices I read, listen, research, consider and form an opinion. Then I read enough to convince myself that the opinion I formed meets my requirements, wants needs and desires. Then I read enough supporting evidence (disregarding the rest) to convince MYSELF, that my choice fits my requirements of the time or intended purpose. The Big Boy above has it right. The Creedmoor and it's High BC projectiles perform on paper. Inside 500yards I've compared enough reviews to show the 7mm-08 is the better hunting round and that both probably should be limited to 500 for hunting! For drop, drift, energy and velocity the 7mm-08 has a slight advantage over 6.5cm. For long range target the 6.5cm performs in its class and does what it was designed for. This however being a Long Range Hunting forum I suggest the 6.5 Creedmor is discounted as a long range Hunting round. By hunting I would suggest Coyote and bigger. It's probably a good varmint round with the right projectiles. I would consider it for hunting within reasonable ranges on small game with appropriate projectiles. It probably has a place for junior hunters and the recoil sensitive but for hunting as always shot placement is paramount. For now, I don't have a use for it and I can't help but make fun of it, Man Buns and the Latte crowd. [/QUOTE]
