Throw enough money at marketing anything, and it will come out on top. 6.5CM, US presidency etc.

And next year the ultimate nz cartridge will be the 7 mm water-blaster :-)
Out of all the rifles I got through my hands in the last two years ( 2500+), 308 and 7-08 come way above at the top of the list, next 270 and 223 then 243, 7rem mag and 300 win mag, next 6x5x55 .

Despite the huge number of 303 I worked on less than a dozen, and I might have worked on 3 to 5 6.5 creedmoor rifles in total.

So yes it is just the promotion of a magazine to increase the sales of the 6.5 CM.

Really? Opinions like that justifies my avoidance of NZ or pretty much anyone's hunting magazines.

Great cartridge but to be the best for all NZ game is a bit of a stretch Imo.

I would have thought the .308 for anything inside 400 would be hard to beat with its projectile selection, power and inherent accuracy.
