6.5 Creedmoor was specifically developed for precision shooting and has been around since 2007. It was designed to get the best possible case life, accuracy and ballistic efficiency out of a .308 sized action. A hunting cartridge was never at the forefront of it's creation, it just works really well as one.
I agree and I think in a lot of cases there are the big three in NZ that do most of the game taking , 270 , 7.08 , 308. My local H&F shop said those are the big three sellers weather new or used.
I don't see the gun industry producing anything revolutionary in 40 plus over years, it's just marketing old products that have been tweaked and supposedly improved. You can spend a lot of time and money believing the hype and marketing only to achieve the same result as you basically got with the old faithful.
The old calibers like 270 , 30-06, 6.5 swede , 7 mm mauser kill as well today as they did 100 yrs ago.
From the gun industries point of view I guess it's about the next best thing and the bottom line is it's all about the bottom line. The Creedmore is a classic case, just a 6.5 swede with a tit job and lippie.....really nothing new. Improved ??
As for 270 owners..................
