That is probably partly because the 6.5 Creedmoor is a popular round. So many hunters have them, especially new hunters, and these hunters aren’t the greatest shots. Which leads to bad shots on deer. Not necessarily a symptom of the round but the shooter.

If the bullet is placed in the right spot I damn near doesn’t matter what the round is.

I went with 6.5 cm because I’m aging and my shoulder is jacked up.

Plenty of seasoned professionals that can’t shoot for shite, too.

I agree with your entire response. Not throwing shade at the 6.5 either. I have one that I’ve killed deer with and really like the high BC the round offers. Actually debating on bringing it to Montana for Muleys as a backup gun to my 7mag.
