I definitely don't think the 6.5 creedmoor is a fad. There's no question it is a great shooting, hard hitting cartridge, especially from a long range turret twisting point of view.

" In today's instant gratification society, more and more pressure revolves around success and the measurement of one's prowess as a hunter by inches on a score chart or field photos produced on social media. Don't fall into the trap. Hunting is-and always will be- about the hunt, the adventure, the views, and time spent with close friends and family. " Ryan Hatfield

I'm really interested in the .257 Weatherby but a little concerned about the recoil.  Not sure how it compares to the old 30-06 but I do know that shooting 165 grain factory ammo out of the 36-06 with no recoil pad tends to make me flinch a little.  Still not quite ready get a 6.5CM yet though. :tung:

theres a lot of cartridges that beat out the 6.5 creedmoor.... its just a solid short action round that is very efficient in its capability.  i jumped on the bandwagon but that is cause i needed something to fit between my .204 ruger and 7mm SAUM. 

... kinda weird though my man bun and beard hasnt grown in yet.  should i be worried?  :dunno:

Yes. But theres a solution. For anyone who bought their 6.5 Creedmore, but have yet to grow in their Man Bun, salvation is available at the reasonable price of $9.99!

Giftwrap it and deliver it with a pink camo hydrodipped stock to go on the new shooting iron. He'll be giddy.

Less recoil than an 06 due to shooting lighter bullets.

I'm a huge .25 caliber fan and the 25/06 is an outstanding cartridge. I think the creedmore is over rated, I would like to see a 6.5/06 factory rifle available and surprised it hasn't happened.

I'm surprised the 6.5-06AI hasn't become a factory round yet.  The 280 AI is now a factory round, so why not the 6.5?  :dunno:

One could argue that the 6.5-06AI isn't necessary because the 264wm exists but the 6.5-06AI can get about the same velocities with less powder and less recoil. 

But then I'm also confused as to why the 6.5wsm never became a factory round?
May I always be the kind of person my dog thinks I am.

I've read that the 6.5 WSM is a barrel burner.

Ok, I'm sold.  That's all that I needed.   Where's my debit card?  :IBCOOL:

I don't know if you ever come to the NE, but if you do for turkey and wanted to shoot a 257 this spring you are welcome to stop by.
