The new issue of RifleShooter (Jan/Feb 2012) has an article on the 6.5 Creedmoor. How it is "the new .270 Winchester" and can be used for practically anything. More efficient than the .270 and originally designed for long range target and competition. Lots of extremely good bullets available for the diameter. Just a matter of figuring out what rifle to put it in. You could get a Ruger No. 1 or M77 Hawkeye. A Savage M16 Weather Warrior or Model 12 LRP. T/C is chambering it in the Icon. Or you could get an Encore barrel for it.
