Other than perhaps a 1000 yd target application there is no way on God's green earth that the 6.5 Creedmoor will ever replace the .308 Win. Give the CM the credit it deserves in the LR accuracy category,forget the hype and leave it at that. It is what it is .. no more.

As a hunting cartridge the CM is out of it's weight class by a fair margin in .264 cal.
