Not to be offensively argumentative, but just because Hornady says that the 6.5 creedmoor is their idea and based on the .30 TC, doesn't necessarily make it so. I could describe the 6.5 Creedmoor as an improved, 6.5-.250 savage, and not be incorrect. Matter of fact, when the cartridge was first introduced and brass was not available, gun writers used the .250 savage case to make ammunition for testing. I could also observe that the new 6mm Creedmoor is suspiciously like the 6mm International, which was a favorite of bench rest shooters in the 1950's and 1960's. And yes, I'm 71 and old enough to remember that. My dad always told me that there is not much new under the sun.
