Not sure why they would choose an inferior cartridge,

Serious question and I’m not just trolling. Are you people serious? What is the big deal ? I shoot my 6.5 because I’m comfortable with it and it has done quite well for me. I shoot whitetail in the shoulder and have never had a problem. Do y’all really need to look into ballistics that hard to kill animals? I don’t shoot 120lb Louisiana does at 900 yards because I just don’t consider that hunting. But to each his own. I’m not judging. I’m not saying I couldn’t do better with something else but I don’t have any reason to change. This goes for the killing of many many animal species in many states. Some folks need to chill. Go bow hunting or something if you’re really needing a challenge that bad
I thought the point of the thread was that it's no better or worse than most other hunting rounds. It evolved into what it has lol
But it begs the question, why did you buy it over say a 7mm08 or 308?
I'm honestly interested to know the answer. In 2015 it wasn't even in the top 10 rifle caliber sold. Now it's freaking everywhere. People on the OB, Facebook hunting pages etc. It's unreal it's explosion in popularity in a few years.

I think you have found what works for you.
The 260 did not work for me. Contrary to what you have stated. Brass options sucked, velocity was a wash, and the creedmoor will 100% fit a 140gr bullet in a magazine. Youd be sweating, hoping the 260 fits as you chase the lands.
It may work for you and thats cool. I had one, it was a fine caliber. Remington really messed it up, but the differences between the 260/6.5creed/6.5x47 are all pretty neglible and really depends on what the end user wants to do.

Found this on another forum.
I shot a 300 RUM once. It was so traumatizing. My acupuncturist scolded me severely. She prescribed me a second emotional support cat and told me to never leave my 6.5 Creedmoor again.

I prefer to bow hunt simply for the challenge. I will agree with you though, this is a highly nuanced conversation for 95-99% of the hunting community. Most hunters do not care about what we are discussing.
bbvdd,
I think the Precision Rifle Blog is a great source for what the "Pros" are using and getting some great information. FWIW I have a .308 and 6.5 "Cripplemore". I am looking next at getting a .300PRC but open for additional input.

PRB is interesting to say the least. I enjoy reading it.
I have 3 .308s and 2 6.5cm (though I just finished building my son a 6.5cm and took it out to shoot this past weekend for the 1st time)
I have a REM 700 action in 7mm mag that I'm trying to decide what I want to do with it. Keep it in 7mm or go to .300 Norma or .300 PRC
Thinking I'm going to join K&M Precision range so that I can learn to shoot out to 1000+ but not there yet.

Wait you thought you could only get 260's in the original factory twist?

I bought one 3 years ago during the peak of hype. I knew then just like now that it was just another caliber to hunt with. After shooting several deer, I really like it. I also like my other calibers I have. They all get the job done. I leave the stupid shite like this thread to the ballistic retards.

Nice looking X bolt.

I have a 7 and 8 year old that shoot a Browning micro 6.5 Creed. Over the last two seasons combined they have shot at 6 deer and hit 5. 3 never took another step and the other 2 went about 50 yards despite shot placement that was not ideal. All shots 100yds plus. The kids are not scared of the recoil and make a better shot. The round has done its job and then some. You couldn't buy my 6.5 from me. Yes there are "better" rounds, but not for kids.
BTW - I bought a Winchester 7MM-08 at the same time and had it cut to fit the kids. The recoil is much more noticeable and the kids didn't want to shoot it after one afternoon at the range with 6.5.

To answer your question... See my reply about the 6.5CM . Created in 2007, the cartridge was dormant for 8 yrs until American Sniper was released. The only people who really knew about the CM were LR competition and PRS shooters.

What sad is you aren't aware the cartridge was out years before Remington's factory "260" and the twist they put on it. Shows how little you know about shooting.
You're the clown, you're just ignorant.

None of that matters. Everybody who gives a shite about rifle calibers knows that in nearly all cases there was a wildcat somewhere that was like it. All that matters is what rifles and bullets are available on the shelf.
.260 does nothing better than the creedmoor without oddball barrels and handloads.

Brb headed to academy to get a box of .244 Remington and some 6.5CM loaded with accubonds.

I think you're on point. I just find it interesting to hear what deer hunters reason is for the caliber.

It was not "like it" it was the identical round, look I'm not going to waste my time arguing with creedmoore hacks who don't understand real shooting, good luck

I'm not arguing. I'm trying to explain to you why you are wrong.
