"Cream of Wheat soaked in nitroglycerin" tooo damn funny...Pardon me for asking a stupid question, but I was taught, “the only stupid question is the one you don’t ask.”
Why the reinvention of cartridges? Anymore, it seems rifle buffs neck down and blow out the shoulder of some existing cartridge, then say they can load it with anything from H4831 to Cream of Wheat soaked in nitroglycerin and have magic bullets emerge from the barrel.
Clearly, I’ve missed something. And once again, please pardon me for asking, but I figured if anyone had some answers, it would be FReepers.

The only relevant 6.5 mm short action round besides the Creedmoor is the 260 Rem, which was also evaluated. The Creedmore has a 30 degree shoulder, which has emerged as the best for accuracy, and the Army ended up preferring it. The Creedmoor is also set up better for long bullets.
The 6.5 Creedmoor has also become extremely popular with civilians, both for target shooting and hunting.
