Can't believe I'm about to argue for it, but what about it ballistically could possibly be shitty for hunting? 260 is fine. 6.5x55 is fine. 7mm08 is fine.
Shoot a more appropriate bullet. Don't buy anything that says match or precision on it.

Googled 6.5 creedmoor
Hollywood is partly responsible for the increased hype and demand of the 6.5CM. The cartridge was created in 2007. Very few people knew about, or shot this cartridge except long range PRS shooters. The 6.5CM parent case is the 30TC which was a complete failure. In 2014, American Sniper was released and every Tom, Dick, and Harry wanted to be the next Chris Kyle. The “black rifle” craze shifted to the “sniper rifle” infatuation. Factory and custom rifle manufacturers jumped on the bandwagon hyping “you too can shoot looooong range”. Hornady increased ammo production and began to market the shite out of the Creedmoor (magazine articles, YouTube videos, social media). The public bought in and rifle/ammo sales went through the roof.
As previously mentioned, the 6.5CM does the exact same thing as the 260 Rem (6.5x308), 6.5x55S, and King of LR / PRS shooting - 6.5x47 Lapua. If it was such an incredible deer, pig, elk hunting cartridge, then why did it take 8 years before it became so popular with the public ? Hornady owes a lot of gratitude to Clint Eastwood and the sheeple who bought into the marketing hype.
I respect the CM cartridge but my 6.5x47Lapua does the exact same thing with less powder.

Do you really think a 140gr bullet moving around 2600-2800 cares what brass its coming out of? 6.5 Swede has killed damn near as many animals worldwide(including moose) as any caliber out there but yet you think its not worthy of a 150lb deer 
Several on here have tried to explain where your mistake was and it wasn't in the caliber choice. we can lead you to water but we can't make you drink. Start sending 140gr Accubonds out of that rifle and you'll start piling deer up like cord wood just like any other cartridge

Ok coach
There’s at least 3 other people telling you otherwise that I’d consider more knowledgeable than myself. What exactly makes it shitty for hunting? Be specific with us.

I was itching for a new deer rifle to reload for and was reading about choices in the 6.5-.264 calibers. Just didnt see the point of the CM after doing the research. Bought a CZ 6.5 Swede, loading 140gr accubonds for it. I love that gun!

You exposed yourself as a dumbass when you told us it was too fast to expand. People on here took the time to explain to you in technical terms the error in your ways.
That said, explain to us why it’s a shitty caliber for hunting. We’ve all got time.

I should have just copy and pasted this.

If youre handloading the swede can be loaded to comfortably outrun the creedmoor with the same bullets.

You exposed yourself as a dumbass defending the shitty round.

The 6.5x55 outperforms the cm. Ammo manufacturers load down the 6.5x55 just like the 7mm rem mag.
Both of those cartridges can be loaded hotter and still be safe.

Still waiting for your reasoning why.
Nothing like getting owned then start arguing like a 16 year old. You proved you didn’t know wtf you’re talking about when you called it too hot. You had the opportunity to learn something today, but you insisted staying ignorant.

I have been out of the rifle game for a while and started searching new rifles a few weeks ago and I was like what the frick is 6.5 Creedmore

I’ve pushed 140gr to around 2920 out of my 6.5 cm using rl-16 without pressure signs.
I realize anyone could do the same with any caliber.

That's because the general public baw knows less about bullet design than they do caliber abilities.
It's not just a you problem. It's people go to Academy and stare at sniper marketed ammo and thinks it makes them a better shooter and Hunter. When in fact it does the opposite.
Any mainstream cartridge from .243 to .338 win mag (that's for downshift) is perfectly capable for deer hunting with a good bullet and a decent shot.
If it's a shitty hunting round there has to be a ballistic measure that explains why? What is it?

I think the imported euro ammo brands are hotter.

They are. We are still using load data like people are shooting them out of old Swedish Mausers.

.308 Winchester.....the thinking man's '06.
And as for the 6.5 family, the Swede 6.5x55 will still be going strong when the others have been all but forgotten.

6.5. cripplemore
I will guarantee more deer are crippled by people that are scared shitless of the recoil from their magnums than are crippled by Creedmoors.
If you are crippling deer with a Creedmoor you are either making poor choices in ammo or you can’t shoot for shite
