No requirements to own. Douchebags/ Fudds can buy with confidence.Is it better than the old ones for hunting ?Is a man bun a requirement for having one ? Will it kill a Texas whitetail deader than a 243,22-250, 7mm-08, 308, 270 Win. 25-06, 30-06, 30-30 ?Is Keto a requirement for having one ?
It is amusing, but argue, more like discuss, or in the OPs case make fun of.While I have enjoyed shooting the several custom 6.5 CM's that I've built since 2009, there is nothing any better than most other 6mm, 6.5mm, 7mm, or 30 caliber cartridge's that have been around before or after it was developed.
The main difference with the 6.5 CM was all the Marketing that Hornady did with it. That was the cartridge's claim to fame. It's funny that 17 years since the 6.5 CM was invented, people still argue over the damn thing.
I agree with this, it really shines at distances where legitimate wind calls are needed, which is NOT 1-300 years. my mind tends to think of 6.5CM as the 5.56 of mid-range shoot (600-1200 yards). They're lighter than our traditional 30 cal rounds, but run hot and fast and have pretty decent expansion with the right load.No requirements to own. Douchebags/ Fudds can buy with confidence.
Most people that knock the round have never shot more than 100 yards.
The Creedmoor rounds are geared toward long range shooting. No, 200 yards is not long range. Think 500 yards minimum. That's where they excel over older rounds.
They do work great for normal hunting distances too.
Buy what you want. If you really cared what people think then you'll never buy anything.
