[QUOTE="hoffbill, post: 2031411, member: 75091"] As a number of have posted on this thread, the 6.5 Creed is an excellent medium power light recoil hunting round. At hunting ranges it is a ballistic twin of the 260 Rem and similar to several other 6.5 cartridges. Where it excels and is superior to 260 Rem is in precision competition shooting at ranges from 600-1200 yds. That is where its design makes it different. The AI style shoulder and longer neck in a shorter case make it ideal for seating very long low drag bullets in a short action. The long neck makes it easier to maintain concentricity with the long bullets. It's pleasantly moderate recoil and the 6.5 advantages in BC make it an exceptional cartridge for punching holes in paper at very long ranges, which is exactly what it was designed to do. It was never intended or claimed to be ideal for dropping elk and moose from 1000 yds away. If you want to try that grab a 7mm or 30 cal magnum and your shoulder pad.[ATTACH type="full"]228046[/ATTACH][ATTACH]228046[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
