[QUOTE="cajun, post: 1780081, member: 9772"] Years ago 1000 yd shooters starting necking down 284 win to 6.5 284. It was the king for a while. High BC bullets and low recoil. Then of course Hornady developed the creedmoor mainly as an across the course AR round for high power target. So in the target circles it has been popular. Hornady took advantage of the interest in long range shooting and very successfully marketed the creedmoor. Ironically 1000 yd guys are now necking the 6.5 284 back to 7mm because of Sierras new high bc sevens. [/QUOTE]
