Who has real experience with….

My son is 7-7 with his creedmoor. I'm 1-1. No t a single deer has made it past 10 yards. I usually hunt/carry it because he's with me 75% off the time. Occasionally I'll carry my 7/08.

Here is his deer from youth day with the 6.5 CM. didn't take a step.

I seen all the haters of the caliber but wanted one anyway. I've fired many calibers and feel the .270 is the best all around caliber, why? Because I used one for a few decades and it never failed to put the round where I wanted it. But after I have used the 7.62 effectively, I figured time to get a .308. Hunted that for about eight years, the 300Blk for about five, and now trying out the 277WLV and the 6.5 CM. Of all the calibers I have used, the only one that I feel let me down was the 30-30, and it was really my fault in that I pushed beyond it's capability, because it did fine at 100yds and under, but still. Many even hunt the hell out of pistol calibers, I have yet to bloody my .44, but am sure it will do fine. People always feel "their" caliber is the best, because it works for them, but in reality most any caliber will work within it's capability, you just have to be good with it.
 
All the hype/fade.

It's calmed down a little in the last year or so, but you couldn't open any hunting forum with out someone screaming they deer hunt with 6.5. how it's the best deer rifle ever made. And most of them was the young generation of tac-a-cool hunters. I have a buddy who never shot at a deer in his life or ever owned a deer rifle go out and put a 6.5 in layaway cause all the hype 2 years ago. I gave him hell when he tried to show me YouTube videos talking about it being the best rifle ever made.

Stuff like that Is why it gets made fun of alot.

Never used it, don't have nothing bad to say about it.
