6.5 Creedmor more popular than .300 Blackout?

Hanging out at the range and shooting your favorite rifle doesn't make anyone an expert on a new cartridge anymore than driving your car makes you a mechanic. No, I don't shoot a Creedmoor but I have plenty of range time, I shoot every week. If you happen to have worn out a barrel shooting a Creedmoor or a 300 BLK I'll take that as time in rank. Otherwise we're all in the same boat here and it's just numbers on a piece of paper.

It's readily apparent we aren't in the same boat. You should google Dunning-Kruger effect.

Nice. Another personal attack.
Here's one for you.

Good cause Dunning-Kruger is real.
I LOVE to see that actually....i get the feeling it would be frustrating....or fun, who knows. The blackout i mean, pretty sure you could wear a creedmoor out pretty quick if you tried.

That was probably the first time i heard/read about the CM. I liked the idea, As i liked the idea of the .260 and x55 before it but wanted a "true" short action. Seemed to offer a nice alternative to the 7mm08. At the time i had little or no interest in the .24s,.25s, or short .30s. Who was using it and what it was being used for had no bearing on my interest.
That said, i played paintball long enough to know marketing and "new" sells gear. Paintball is a very fad bassed sport. Alot of those guys bought guns also, Mostly glocks, and ARs, bolt .308s also were popular cause thats what sniper's used. Nothing wrong with any of those platforms no matter who owns the, or why they bought them.
Personally i cant stand glocks, im finding im not a huge AR fan, and the .308 dosent do it for me either.
Id hate to see any of them become obsolete tho, so im glad for the guys that use them for "real" reason, and the guys that buy them just 'cause.
I shoot 30-06, but after a box of ammo, I've had enough recoil. Getting old is only better than the alternative. Now I can shoot a .223/5.56 until I run out of ammo. But I'm thinking I want a bolt action that doesn't beat me up as much as a 30-06, so originally I was looking at the 6.5x55, but then the 6.5CM came out. Looks like it will fit what I want.
Almost. A 6.5CM in a box fed lever action would be really cool.

You can get the .243 and 7mm-08 (which are pretty similar) in the BLR.
