The current data says you can shoot a 140 grain bullet at 2600 fps and I am at 3000.

Considering how long the 6.5x55 has been around, and given its popularity today, one could never argue against it.
I just don’t understand why forum members continually carry on about the Creedmoor. If people don’t like it, fair enough not probs there, I just don’t see the need to bash others that do have one and like it. Hell mine does what I got it for.
Mate I don’t think there is any such thing as a useless cartridge. Although I don’t see the sense in some, I am sure they have their uses for some, and as such, don’t see the point in carrying on because a certain cartridge doesn’t suit your own purposes.

Ah it's all good fun, I know my gun shop gentlemen pretty well and even they tell me, people that come in and all want the creedmore because they have heard from mates and seen on YouTube that it's the best and that's what they want no question.
One of my mates has a tikka T3 Varmint in 6.5 swede with the dirty plastic tuppaware stock. It shoots sellior and bellot factory rounds well. He was shooting at only 200m but could cover 5 shots with a 10 cent coin on an open range. Would make me happy anyways for a factory rifle
