[QUOTE="MudRunner2005, post: 1073910, member: 12995"] The only reason it's so popular, is because it's new, and because it's offered as a factory caliber for several rifles. It's similar to the .260 Rem in almost every way (including velocity), but the .260 was introduced in 1997, so it's "old news". :rolleyes: As for me, I'll take a .260 or .260 AI over a 6.5 Creed any day. Especially since I have quite the surplus of .308 brass, and you can easily make .260/260 AI cases from .308 brass. It would take entirely too much work to form 6.5 Creed cases from .308. Unfortunately hardly any manufacturers still produce rifles in .260 Rem, so you pretty much have to build one from scratch if you want one, which is a shame. And several manufacturers are producing rifles in 6.5 Creedmoor, therefore since people can buy it in a cheap factory rifle, it will become more popular. Before this turns into a ****ing contest, this is simply, my opinion... I didn't realize I would have to state that, but it has become quite apparent recently that some people don't seem to understand that people are allowed to have differing opinions than theirs.
