The 6.5 Creedmoor is perhaps the most interesting cartridge to come about in recent history. But as Taylorce1 pointed out, it's not really equal to, or out performing, the 270 Winchester. Instead, it's ballistically most similar to the 260 Remington and the 6.5 x 55 Swede, while coming in a more compact cartridge, suitable to a wider range of action lengths. It might even fit in a Savage 99, if someone was so inclined.
