So was listing to a podcast about cartridges and the like and it seems every generation has a "wonder round" . Big marketing campaigns ,yadda yadda yadda. 6.5creed just seems to be my generations ( also might have to do the the fact I can get actually get ammo and a gun for under $500). Anyhow what was the 6.5 Creed for y'all ?

Quote
The .270 Winchester, conceived solely as a big game hunting cartridge, became very popular, in part, due to the widespread praises of gun writer Jack O'Connor who used the cartridge for 40 years and touted its merits in the pages of Outdoor Life[5][6] as well as other renowned gun writers of the time such as late Col. Townsend Whelen.

Mine was the 25-06. My first was a custom in the early 60s.

I'd have to say that during my time, the 7mm-08 made a splash similar to the 6.5 creedmore.

Whats wrong with rifled slug barrels? Unless you lived in a deer rifle state, rifled slug barrels were a godsend for people trying to get some actual accuracy for anyrhing past point blank range.

Yes, a 300 win mag will safely shoot a 200 grain bullet at the same velocity the 7mm mag shoots a 175
