[QUOTE="CMP70306, post: 2255512, member: 36999"] So one thing I’ve always heard is about Hornady’s marketing of the cartridge as the be all end all rifle cartridge however I have never actually heard Hornady themselves say it. How much of the BS surrounding the Creedmoor is spread by writers, bloggers and snake oil salesmen vs the actual companies making the rifles and ammo? The best example I can think of the is the “6.5 Creedmoor beats the .300 Win Mag” that has been repeated over and over and over again. If I recall correctly I’m pretty sure the original marketing was something along the lines of “The 6.5 Creedmoor with the 140gr A-Max significantly beats the .308 loaded with 175gr Sierra Match King, providing a trajectory comparable to the .300 Win Mag with the 190gr Sierra Match King with less than half the recoil.” [ATTACH type="full"]289454[/ATTACH] Per the trajectory chart everything about that statement is a true fact, the problem is that after playing whisper down the lane for a decade the only thing that remained to be spouted in gun shops across the land was “6.5 Creedmoor beats 300 Win Mag”. With modern 6.5 Creedmoor being loaded lower for use in semi’s and modern .300’s being loaded to their potential the gap has widened considerably. [ATTACH type="full"]289455[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
