Cant find creedmoor chambered in a crown jewel,(96 mauser) lol. I was just being a smart ass, calm down creedmore hipsters. I respect your “new cartridge” which has already existed for a hundred years, but it is not and wont ever be a .270. Only my opinion...
And wasn't ever designed to be.
I have in my stable right now, my buddy's Tikka .270 that I have been working up loads for, and a Savage build that currently wears a 6.5 CM barrel. Taking them both to the range, and shooting factory ammo from both, I'm getting 2875 fps. out of the .270 Hornady ELD-X load, and 2700 fps. out of the 143 grain 6.5 CM Hornady ELD-X load. Both are almost exactly the velocity printed on the box, so no surprises. Both are shooting right at 1" and the .270 recoil is noticeably more than the 6.5 CM - both in 7 lb. hunting rifles.
Does the .270 "outperform" the 6.5 CM? I guess so, but it also produces more recoil. So to me, this is simply a matter of choosing the amount of recoil your shooter or you are willing to tolerate, and then selecting a proven chambering that produces that amount of recoil. Nothing more, nothing less.
