There's nothing wrong with the 6.5 Creedmore I've just not felt the need for one myself yet but it's a personal choice if you want one & have the extra cash get it , it's a easy thing to get caught up in the feel good buying craze or keeping up with the Jones's ha ha Allan

In the real world (on game) I’m not sure the difference is measurable. “I don't know, Chief, if he's very smart or very dumb.” Capt. Quint

Other than short action in 6.5 the 270 seemed flatter Plus before this Covid crap 270 shells were cheap and every where online they both have about zero ammo but your a lot more likely to find a couple boxes of 270 on a gas station, hardware store , or bait shop shelf still there from the past. the two are about dead even at a half mile 880 yards for energy and velocity then 6.5 pulls ahead or rather doesn't slow down as fast. however 270 is still flatter because it was loosing less altitude until a half mile the thing is your not generally hunting at a half mile. I was thinking the same thing as your last sentence. Not many hunters capable of taking a killing shot at 880 yards. For most 300 yards is about max. We are told not to judge all Muslims by the actions of a few lunatics, but are told to judge all gunowners by the actions of a few.

I have a 243:and a 25-06 (smaller bullet but faster) and a 270, 280, 7-08, 7 mag, 30-06 and 300wsm, which are larger. I just don’t feel my closet needs a 6.5. I only hunt whitetails. The wsm was for an elk trip. Am I missing something? I don’t have any tactical gear either. I must be boring or practical. Just asking?

Its a writerlings wet dream and does nothing or less than way older established calibers. Then ya hear people rave about how a short action is so much stiffer and accurate... then look at their 200 dollar rifle they bought where the action s thinner and more floppy than the tupperware stock is is slapped into. Its good for a giggle at times. A big upside for me having my own range is not to have to listen to some pimple face that he shoots a creed moore. Let's go Brandon "Shall not comply" with morons who don't understand "shall not infringe."
