Got a 7.65 x 53 Argentine Mauser i put a peep on and had real nice checkering done by far my favorite rifle great shape matching number rifleI had a 6.5x55, loved that rifle and round.
When I was looking to replace it, the uproar over the 6.5 Creed was full full blown.
Looked around, finally landed on .260 Rem. Couldn't be happier.
6.5x55 was loaded with 120gr bullets.
.260 loves the same.
Creedmoor is 90% marketing hype, same as .270. Never owned either. .30-06 and .260 will do everything and more.
